Our topic For the evening is “Transportation Optimization.” “The Transportation Optimization PDM will provide a holistic look at transportation and distribution modes and strategies, examine the tradeoffs between the various modes and provide participants the basic tools to analyze and select the transportation/distribution strategy that best suits their product line(s) during these challenging times. See the meeting schedule for more information of what this topic will cover.” Apple Valley Chapter had a very successful year during 2007-2008.
