The Beauty of the Amway Supply Chain

While make-ups, lip service, gloss-overs, cover-ups, and brush-offs may be acceptable beauty practices, they are completely absent from Amway's streamlined supply chain.  Access Business Group is a global logistics, manufacturing and R&D company that manages the supply chain operations for Amway, and the Kent Distribution Center is an integral part of it's blushing success.  

Some of the “highlights” of this tour you will hear and see:

· Success stories and lessons learned from Art Tomsha who manages this Kent Business unit.

· A well-managed distribution operation with solid best practices, that accurately ships 450,000 lines per month with 99.7+% accuracy with only 12 full-time employees.

· State-of-the-art operations, including a warehouse management system, pick-by-light, sortation conveyor, RF handhelds,and a weigh-check for outgoing orders.

This tour is highly recommended for those companies that are considering taking the next step in their warehouse and logistics operations.

Best Practice Tours are a partnership between Kent Chamber of Commerce and Kocer Consulting and Engineering.

This very successful and sought after event provides hands-on tours for distribution and manufacturing professionals to see and learn first hand how other companies have successfully improved their operation. The tours provide excellent opportunities to continually build a network of peers to share ideas and solve problems -- to both tour attendees and tour hosts. Attendance, which is limited to primarily industry professionals, ranges from 25 to 35 people as scheduled.
