The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (UK) is launching a new professional forum, the Process Management Data (PMD) Forum, after a merger with time management company Commercial Work Data.
Successful organisations want to be fit for the future with processes that are effective, efficient, productive and timely.
They also need staff that are motivated and involved. In order to achieve these aims, organisations need to consider many of the different management and process improvement techniques that are available today.
The PMD Forum aims to promote Predetermined Time Systems (PTS). PTS provides accurate data that is easily adapted to specific processes and quantification needs.
This forum adds a new dimension to the Institute, and covers all eight CILT Professional Sectors; Supply Chain, Transport Planning, Rail, Active Travel & Travel Planning, Bus & Coach, Ports Maritime & Waterways, Freight Forwarding and Aviation.
The Institute has also launched a new range of short courses to complement this forum aimed at people working in warehousing, retail and administration.
Peter Newman, current Chairman of CWD says: 'We are delighted that this link up with CILT will secure the long term future and development of our proven data and systems'.
