/24-7PressRelease/ - CHICAGO, IL, December 06, 2006 - As a leading distributor of consumer electronics, Power Merchandising Corporation (PMC) places maximum importance on achieving rapid product turnaround to help their customers succeed. The company maintains distribution operations in Wisconsin that provide virtual inventory access, Just-In-Time and traditional shipment solutions to their clients nationwide.
In anticipation of a substantial increase in business in the near future, PMC asked TZA, the leader in optimizing distribution performance, to conduct an assessment of its logistics operations to determine its strengths and weaknesses and to ascertain the capabilities of the present distribution network to meet the new demands.
TZA provided recommendations to improve performance and throughput in PMC's warehousing operations and to leverage freight volumes to their fullest in order to obtain the best rates and services.
Gained efficiencies will include use of the appropriate storage fixtures based on product and movement, allocation of the right amount of space to each distribution function, improved manpower planning, visibility into associate performance and utilization, increased productivity, increased throughput, and use of the carriers that best meet PMC's shipping requirements in the most cost-effective manner.
"Having efficient processes and the proper material handling equipment gives us the ability to provide quick product turnaround. Our commitment to outstanding customer service became the catalyst for looking into a solution that could support our short- and long-term growth" said Joe Corrigan, PMC's President. "TZA's solutions are proven in the distribution arena, so it was an obvious choice for us."
"The customers we support operate in a very demanding environment. TZA has more than 20 years of experience providing innovative solution to unique distribution challenges. We look forward to continuing to support PMC during this exciting period of growth to take their organizational capabilities to the next level," said John Platz, TZA's Vice President.
