Officers of AIAG MMOG/LE Subcommittee
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., October 21, 2011 -- Radley Corporation is proud to announce that Bobbie Jarvi, Radley Corporation's Director of Client Services – Europe, and Kimberly Strange, MCSE, have been elected by the Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) Materials Management and Logistics/Supply Chain Management Steering Committee, Global MMOG Revision AIAG & Odette sub-committee, to serve as Secretary and Co-Secretary.

"Bobbie and I have our feet on the street with global implementations for suppliers across all of the major OEMs," Kimberly Strange stated, "Moreover, while we implement for one, we impact many.

By understanding the reason behind the requirement, we ensure that Radley's solutions are based on informed business decisions. The majority of the F3 questions in the MMOG/LE self-assessment tool are addressed directly by our eCommerce Platform (EDI) and our WorkForce Productivity (data collection) Suites of products."

RELEASE
2nd Annual National SteelDay Event
Hosted in Grand Rapids,
Michigan
On September 24th, Industry, Education, and Technology
converge in Michigan
Grand Rapids, Michigan, August 31, 2010 – Architects, engineers, contractors,
students, and any other interested party will have the opportunity
to visit and interact with Radley Corporation in Grand Rapids,
Michigan, as they host a SteelDay 2010 event on September 24th.
SteelDay 2010, organized by the American Institute of Steel
Construction (AISC), is the second annual national event dedicated
to providing accessibility to the latest happenings in the structural
steel industry. SteelDay events such as facility tours, educational
seminars, and jobsite visits are scheduled across the U.S. to
showcase how the structural steel industry contributes to build
America. Last year’s SteelDay events were held at more
than 170 different locations all over the country and more than
nine out of 10 hosts said they planned to participate again
in 2010.
“SteelDay gives you an appreciation for what
goes into your design – and [the steel industry’s]
efforts to recycle and be environmentally friendly”, commented
Rick Miles, P.E., a SteelDay 2009 attendee and senior engineer
at Sparks Engineering, Inc, in Round Rock, Texas. 
Radley Corporation
will be hosting a two-hour educational session with an opportunity
for hands-on interaction with the latest in automated data collection
technology available for the Steel Industry today. During the
session attendees will learn about how the latest data collection

As concerns over the economy linger, building professionals
want to reduce their risk and control their costs more than
ever. Increasingly they also need to be sensitive to the environmental
impacts of their projects. This event will show that building
with structural steel is a very effective strategy toward meeting
these goals and ensures a successful project is delivered on
time and on budget. More information on SteelDay 2010 can be
found at www.SteelDay.org. Details on registration and what
this year’s events have to offer will continually be updated

Inventory Management Productivity
Now Also for Steel Industry and Other SMBs
Radley Corporation announces new
SMB Inventory
Management Solution |
Grand
Rapids, Michigan, November 15, 2009 — Radley
Corporation announced today the release of Radley
Inventory Management, the latest addition to their
WorkForce Productivity Solution Suite. Radley Inventory
Management enables small- to medium-sized businesses
to gain productivity advantages through Inventory Management
functionality that was previously primarily
obtainable by large manufacturers
and distribution centers with complex and expensive Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) systems or customized enterprise inventory
management software packages. Radley Inventory Management includes
the ability to track partially-used materials (drops/remnants)
and supplies, manage expiration dates, issues, receipts,
cycle counts, ad hoc counts, scrap, physical attributes,
quality data, and provides access to time-stamped historical
data for reports and inquiries. |
A flexible “characteristic
definition” structure and simple user interface when combined
with the ability to track and trace user-defined attributes
offers innovative interoperability through integration and
levels the playing field for small to mid-sized businesses. "Up
until now, the complexity and costs involved with moving
to an automated system of inventory management, have kept
most small and medium businesses locked into using their
manual (spreadsheet/clipboard) inventory tracking systems,
or forced them into low-cost solutions that may not meet
their long-term needs,” noted David Barks, Vice President
of Radley Corporation. “Manual systems can be a real barrier
to successfully competing with larger more sophisticated
global entities, especially in the current economic environment," he
said.

Data Collection and Bar Coding for IFS - Watch
Now
This webcast provides an overview and demonstration
of Radley for use with IFS Applications for Data Collection
and Bar-coding. |
In May's edition of the IFS
Radio Network, Radley Corporation Vice President David
Barks points out the pitfalls of stand-alone Warehouse
Management Systems (WMS) technology. He suggests that manufacturers
should instead consider extending their existing enterprise
software into the warehouse. One of these pitfalls is the
fact that even after integrating WMS and an enterprise
application like ERP, a manufacturer still winds up running
two separate inventory systems.
