The Warehousing Education and Research Council, a division of MHI, the trade association representing the material handling, logistics, and supply chain industry, announced last week the launch of new team membership options for warehousing and distribution center professionals.

In an August 30 news release, WERC said its team membership provides associates with the tools they need to learn the latest trends and technologies, assess their operations, identify areas for improvement, and run a more efficient warehouse and distribution center. 

The organization said membership also offers a collaborative community where professionals can prosper, providing value for businesses and individuals. In addition to the benefits of WERC individual membership, the new team memberships provide extra value, including:

• The six-course Distribution Logistics Education Program, which is a “gold standard” for online education and training warehouse and DC professionals; 
• WERC’s DC Measures Report and Online Benchmarking Tool is recognized as “the state-of-the-art for benchmarking and operational improvement.”

WERC offers three levels of team membership and membership options for individuals, educators, and students.
