U.S. General Services Administration Contract

Daniel Penn Awarded
Warehouse Analysis Contract

Hartford, CT - October 14, 2004

The U.S. Government has awarded a warehouse analysis contract to Daniel Penn Associates (DPA), a Hartford-based management consulting firm. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has a requirement to increase the operational efficiency and space utilization of their general supply warehouse in Anchorage, AK. Daniel Penn Associates was chosen to perform the warehouse analysis and to provide recommendations as to operational and productivity improvements, warehouse reconfiguration, and equipment and warehouse layout.

“We’re very pleased to be helping the government improve their warehouse operations and plans for future growth,” said Mr. Tony Rodriguez, DPA’s president. “It’s important for the government to conduct their warehouse and inventory operations in an efficient and cost effective manner, and to plan for future growth. We’re pleased to be chosen as their partner and to bring our considerable warehousing knowledge and experience to bear on this effort.”

The GSA’s Global Supply Alaska warehouse provides goods and materials to both military and civilian agencies of the federal government throughout the state of Alaska. This study addresses the need to better utilize existing space, to improve business methods and processes, to prepare to handle more throughput with faster turn-around time, and to improve responsiveness to customer needs. Potential factors to be considered include staffing, storage venues, automation and material handling equipment, automated data identification and capture techniques, material flow, and business processes and practices.

Daniel Penn Associates is a minority owned and operated management consulting firm with a proven track record of helping clients reduce costs, improve performance and achieve true competitive advantage. Since 1978, DPA has served private industry and government with services including spend management, business process improvement, cost reduction programs, supply chain logistics and optimization, lean methodologies, maintenance improvement, change management, and supplier diversity programs.
