THE SCIENCE & THE ART OF WAREHOUSING
data integration , Murray brings to the process extensive experience in supplier / customer relationship management and team training .
“ Certification is very much an active and engaging process ,” said Murray . “ I make sure to connect directly and meaningfully with employees at all levels so that I can frame assessments with lived experience . Standards are only standard if they ’ re understood in the same way by everyone . Internal relations and communications are a significant factor in preventing disconnected processes .”
Since the inception of the WERC certification program , Murray has completed more than 60 facility audits . With each one , WERC is pushing warehousing and logistics companies to raise the bar . Furthermore , audits generate first-hand , qualitative experience to inform WERC ’ s benchmarking and best practice guides , professional development offerings and key learning events — keeping them fresh and relevant .
“ We bring people outside their facilities to explore beyond the numbers and data , to examine what others are doing in the industry ,” said Mikitka . “ We ’ re constantly spurring new standards and innovations .”
The largest exchange of warehousing know-how is WERC ’ s Annual Conference and Solutions Center . The next conference is May 6-9 , 2018 in Charlotte , North Carolina .
