Understanding your Warehouse Operations
Date: May 5, 2004

Are your warehouse operations running efficiently and productively? How do your warehouse statistics compare with other firms in the industry?

Now you can find out easily by performing a FREE self-assessment online, powered by iDEAS (Internet-Based Data Envelopment Analysis System), developed by Georgia Tech University.

Participating in iDEAs is easy to do. Just follow these steps:

1. Go to www.isye.gatech.edu/ideas/
2. Register by clicking on "Create an Account".
3. Go back to the homepage, log in, and you're ready to begin the assessment!

In addition to a cross-industry warehousing report, iDEAS has agreed to provide the association with a CTDA-specific report. To ensure a consistent participant sample, please enter 327122 as your NAICS code.

The data you enter is completely confidential and secure, and used strictly for analysis purposes. After you've completed the self-assessment, you will immediately receive a system performance score and a partial efficiency analysis.

We highly encourage you to participate in this free service. For more information or to participate, visit www.isye.gatech.edu/ideas/.
