Boost Manufacturing Plant Productivity — and Remain in Control — with Innovative Onsite Internal Logistics Management
How much more productive and cost-effective could your manufacturing plant be with the right support resources? Historically, there have been two options: manage your operation in-house with staffing agencies; or turn to a third-party logistics (3PL) company.
Now there’s a sweet spot between the two all-or-nothing options. The third option and potentially the best option for you is a customizable, innovative onsite materials management in which YOU maintain the control. Canon's logistics and management services enable you to focus on your core business. Canon is your strategic partner to maximize the productivity of your plant and drive innovation.
