TZA introduces new Optimized Labor Performance solution.

CHICAGO – February 2007 - Tom Zosel Associates, Ltd. (TZA), the premier resource for optimizing productivity in warehousing and private fleet environments, announces the launch of its Optimized Labor Performance Solution. This is a comprehensive program that focuses on all critical aspects of a workforce’s contribution to a corporation’s success.

The program covers issues affecting productivity, safety, quality, cleanliness and resource utilization. Best practices for all these factors combined allow companies to achieve the highest levels of performance.

Within Optimized Labor Performance, TZA provides a stream-lined process, ProTrack ® Labor Management System (loaded with dynamic engineered standards configured with X,Y, Z coordinates), and a management team that receives the best professional training and performance management tool kit available in the logistics arena. These deliverables are coupled with Lean/Six Sigma, continuous improvement, and culture initiatives to enable levels of self-discipline and performance never achieved before in many distribution and transportation operations.

Check what some industry leaders have to say about TZA’s labor performance solutions:

- “TZA has helped us build internal competence and engrain a continuous improvement philosophy, rather than just rolling out software. Involved employees energize our mission. TZA’s programs do a tremendous job in increasing employee morale, which at the end of the day results in better customer service.” - John Ling, Vice President of Logistics, Crate and Barrel

- There was no guesswork on what ProTrack labor management software would do, how it would operate, or the savings the program would provide, because TZA clearly spelled out what the process would be. Project payback has been exceptional and TZA delivered on its commitments. ProTrack continues to drive strong operational performance for the business.” - Tim May, Vice President, Distribution, The Columbia House Company

“The integration of performance management, change management, Lean/Six Sigma, and continuous improvement initiatives is a unique combination of all factors involved in driving true performance improvement. TZA is very excited to spearhead the introduction of these principles into the world of distribution and transportation.” - Charles Zosel, TZA’s Vice President.
