SRW Workshop Focuses on Reduction of Roll Damage During Shipment
The TAPPI Shipping, Receiving and Warehousing (SRW) Workshop, April 9-10, 2013, in Nashville, Tenn., USA, is the paper industry's premier educational and networking forum for the entire paper industry supply chain. The workshop provides anyone interested in the logistics and shipment of paper the opportunity to see new technology and hear experts on a wide range of topics – all under one roof - focused on reducing in-transit damage.
"The safe, damage-free shipment of paper products to customers around the world is a very important element of pulp and paper industry logistics," notes Larry N. Montague, TAPPI president and CEO. "A wide range of factors can cause damage during shipment and the SRW Workshop is the premier event focusing on how mills, and their customers, can lower costs and improve product quality by reducing damage to rolls during transit."
The SRW Workshop is an interactive and collaborative workshop put on by industry professionals representing the entire paper supply chain, including shippers, carriers, printers, and publishers. Presentations and collaborative discussions on topics including car quality, safe truck loading and securing, intermodal loading and securing, damage classification, inspection, and claims procedures are provided. Experts with extensive experience and practical background knowledge representing Class 1 railroads, intermodal providers, warehouses, shippers, and dunnage manufacturers are part of the extensive program offered during this two-day workshop.
