This industry-wide education forum will be held Sept. 21-24 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and is designed to foster operational excellence. Anyone involved in the truck parts distribution business from the distributor owner, the purchasing manager, the field salesman, or the manufacturer district representative will benefit from presentations by industry experts.
Topics include:
-- Managing Quality Systems from Arvin-Meritor
-- Time Management from Franklin Covey
-- The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People from Franklin Covey
