l'-l/lDA Warehouse Seminars

t

Dis .re last of seven travelling seminars on "The orr ,ness of Warehouse Operations," by the National ;' .-ding Material Distributors Assn., was recently 'nducted in Seattle. It marks the fourth year that BMDA has held seminars around the country on : rous aspects of building material distribution.

An average of 32 NBMDA members participated in each of the seven, 2t/z day sessions and, while course material and case studies were aimed primarily at the warehouse superintendant or manager, many top management people attended.

Seminar emphasis was equally divided between physical warehouse management equipment and techniques and people management techniques. It was soon discovered that many needed more information on people management skills. As a result, greater emphasis was placed on this area.

Plans for another program of seminars for early 1975 are already underway.
