Re: Materials Handling
(Consumer Training Program)
We are in the process of developing a Materials Handling program here at Carl
D. Perkins Comprehensive Rehabilitation Center. I have received several calls
and e-mails about a beginning date, enrollment list, requirements, and so forth.
Currently, we are developing the curriculum, ordering materials, and painting
the area designated for the program. I anticipate the painting, cleaning,
shelving, and work stations will be in place by November 1st.
From there we have to set up the hardware and software to be used. During
this time we also have to transfer materials, set up an ordering, shipping, and
receiving process, develop a bar code system, and several other logistical type
details. This process could take up to six weeks.
With all of this in mind, I would like to propose a start date of January
2003. I know this may seem like an extended period, but I really want to develop
this with the correct tools for our consumers to gain work skills needed for the
type of job we will expect them to perform.
Please call or e-mail me if you have any questions or ideas.
Thank You,
Alan Gullett
