MINNEAPOLIS – December. 15, 2006 –On September 8, 2006, GLS welcomed 80 members of the Mailing and Fulfillment Service Association (MFSA) to our facilities in conjunction with their annual Production Management Seminar. GLS has been a participating member of MFSA for 16 years.

The primary purpose of this seminar was for members to learn by touring member plants to observe workflow and how technology is being employed to manufacture direct mail. Members typically come away with countless ways to improve their operations when they can see how companies similar to their own handle similar jobs.

GLS Distribution Services Manager, Dan Anderson, was one of several roundtable facilitators at the MFSA Production Management Seminar, held at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Minneapolis. Town Hall Roundtable topics included: managing peaks and valleys, job scheduling and tracking, equipment and technology, inventory and warehouse issues, and human resources.

MFSA is the national trade association for the mailing and fulfillment services industry. For more than 80 years MFSA has been working to improve the business environment for mailing and fulfillment companies and to provide opportunities for the learning and professional development of the managers of these companies.
