ID Day slated for March 16; to focus on supply chain

By Staff -- Industrial Distribution, 1/1/1999

Newton, mass.--Distributors attending Industrial Distribution Day during National Manufacturing Week will have the opportunity to learn more about technology and its relationship to the supply chain and to network with their peers. National Manufacturing Week will be held March 15-18 at McCormick Place in Chicago. Tuesday, March 16, has been designated as Industrial Distribution Day.

James C. Davis, Harbinger Corp.'s group executive, business development and strategic alliances, will be the featured speaker at the invitation-only ID Day luncheon on March 16, which is co-sponsored by Industrial Distribution. Davis will focus on electronic commerce.

Harbinger is a provider of e-commerce software, services and solutions for supply chain management.

"We thought this event, which recognizes the role of industrial distributors, should be used to raise awareness of the role that electronc commerce plays in acquiring MRO supplies and how it's going to reshape -- not replace, but reshape -- the industrial distribution MRO function," says Gary Buffington, executive vice president of the Industrial Distribution Assn.

Additional ID Day sponsors include the American Supply & Machinery Manufacturers' Assn., I.D.A., Fluid Power Distributors Assn., Power Transmission Distributors Assn., and Reed Exhibition Co.

Other ID Day events include an awards ceremony, following Davis' presentation, for the winners of the 1999 Industrial Distribution Excellence in Distribution awards.
