In this webinar you will learn: How to factor difficulty of work content and adjust labor to account for it How to identify the causes of waste and take action for efficiency gains The data sources you need to merge and unify to get visibility at this level How to approach metrics to understand process performance What are the key KPIs, from GM to employee, and how to cascade them

AI is everywhere in the news — but which applications are too good to be true and which ones are actually going to create real value in warehouse operations today? Join hosts Scott Luton and Tandreia Bellamy as they welcome Easy Metrics President & CTO Dan Keto to cut through the noise to reveal what AI can truly deliver in the near term. Drawing on real-world experience and current industry trends, Dan will outline where AI fits in warehouse performance, why it’s not a magic wand, and how a unified data model is the essential foundation for success. This webinar explores practical use cases that can be implemented today, as well as common AI pitfalls that operations leaders should avoid. Dan will share a straightforward methodology to evaluate AI and ML initiatives—so leaders can distinguish between over-promised solutions and tools that actually improve operational efficiency, improved productivity, labor management, and cost control. Ideal for leaders facing pressure to “do something with AI,” this webinar will bring real-world clarity to a topic often full of hypotheticals.
