April 24, 2009, Newsletter Issue #163: What Material Handling Solution Is Best For My Operation?

Tip of the Week

Finding the right material handling solution can be tricky, especially for those who have stepped or been thrust into the middle of a situation where action is needed immediately. If you have any doubts about what material handling solution is best for your situation, you may wish to compare notes with a MHE sales rep from the company you are currently using to meet your material handling needs.

Also, find out what other companies usually do in your situation. Is there a precedent or an industry standard? Does your shop need this or a modified version of it depending on size and configuration? Are you a federal government contractor? If so your choices could be affected by your status. Some government contractor discounts may apply in your case, depending on the vendor. This could definitely change your budget for the better.

Ask your sales rep for some case histories where similar operations met their material handling solution needs.
