If you want to save money and design better supply chain packaging then you should consider enrolling in the unit load design short course offered at Virginia Tech. The program takes place from May 1-3, 2018 in Blacksburg, Virginia. The course is designed to help pallet and packaging providers and users to make better design decisions aimed at reducing product damage and packaging failures.
Do you want to reduce your overall spending on unit load design? Are you interested in the interactions between the components of unit loads? Do you have issues with unit load failures? Would you like to learn a systematic and efficient way of unit load design?
If you said yes to any of those questions, then the unit load short course is just what you need. This intensive three-day short course will teach techniques that pallet and packaging designers can use to help their clients save money on corrugated board and plastic packaging materials by considering the interactions between the components of unit loads when designing pallets and packages.
With the knowledge from this short course, pallet manufacturers can offer cost savings to their customers without competing with the price of the pallet. Due to increased confidence in the performance of unit loads, we can achieve a safer, more efficient supply chain. This course will use a state-of-the-art unit load design software called Best Load™ to better demonstrate the steps of the unit load design process.
