ATLANTA, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- GoalPost(TM), the strategic Labor Management System (LMS) solution developed over more than two decades by Kurt Salmon Associates (KSA), announced today that it will sponsor an educational videocast series about successful workforce performance management. The videocasts will outline practical ways for viewers to drive down labor costs and improve productivity, quality, throughput, and performance in their supply chain operations.
"Companies with large, labor-intensive supply chain operations often spend millions of dollars automating their facilities and information systems without giving much thought to the physical work their associates still have to do," says Steve Hopper, KSA Senior Manager and GoalPost(TM) Business Development Leader. "Viewers of these videocasts will learn how to progress from a 'production culture' to a 'performance culture' by streamlining, measuring, and managing labor over time to continuously improve overall workforce performance."
Supply Chain Digest and The Supply Chain Television Channel will deliver the videocasts in four half-hour, online broadcasts:
