NML successfully supported the analysis and determination of where the General Stores supply room should be relocated in Phase 1 of the initiative. As part of the project, NML assisted Avera McKennan in developing a layout for the off-site facility, a layout for an on-site STAT Storeroom, and staffing and inventory levels for the Avera Distribution Center. NML also will be on-site for the "Go-Live" which is expected to be late 3rd quarter or early 4th quarter 2009. According to Mark Brunick, Director Materials Management for Avera Mckennan, �We chose National Medical Logistics as a result of our continued relationship with them and initial recommendations in December 2008. Avera McKennan was ready to implement the next phase of the conversion and NML was our choice to support the effort."
