    Techniques used by Sam Foti 

    At The MONY Group, Sam Foti has undertaken a number of initiatives to propel the Group towards industry leadership in the Insurance sector.

    Samuel J. Foti has a few techniques under his belt that he has utilized through the years. Even though these can be easily emulated, what he has a specialty in, is his propensity to take risks. He creates a vision and then follows it through to the end which is believed to be the driving force that leads him to success.

    Firstly, he worked on expanding the Group‘s product line, services and revenue generation possibilities. This was made possible by his unique business acumen, through which he foresaw that making possible the acquisition of U.S. Financial Life Insurance Company and Trusted Advisors Inc. would help in building capacity and add years of expertise to the Group, making it a mature player in the market. His other achievements include implementing a number of revenue savings initiatives, including an early retirement program and the reduction of costs related to the Group’s sales force. Samuel Foti also managed the creation and development of the Group’s Enterprise Strategies group, enabling the company to distribute through wholesalers. This enabled in transitioning MONY’s distribution network, which helped gain a time advantage over other players in the market.

    Automated Dispensing Systems 

    Quantity is inversely proportional to price. This economics principle is followed by PickMaster. It is an automated material handling equipment introduced by Cornerstone automation systems (CASI) for the dispensing system.

    Automated dispensing system is also a material handling system that dispenses huge quantities of items, with extreme accuracy, in very less time. 

    PickMaster is an A-Frame dispenser especially designed for picking large quantities of variable sizes, thus, resulting in low costs. Along with voice picking and pick to light offering, SolidPick (material handling software) is also having a high volume picking method to manage PickMaster. It can be set in a variety of arrangements to pick items moving at any speed. It has a capability of picking 80 items per minute and 3600 orders per hour with high accuracy.

    It can put items directly in the cartons, but sometimes when further labeling or sorting  is required it just puts them on the conveyor for further processing.

     

    Thus, whenever a concern needs fast and correct, high volume material handling, they should go for PickMaster. It will ensure speed and accuracy by reducing manual labor. That will no doubt result in increased productivity. Refill in it can also be done at any time without interrupting the order picking.

    Develop Team Communication Skills for Success 

    Team communication is crucial to any team’s ability to accomplish goals and objectives within an organization. A team cannot be productive without a smooth, efficient flow of information among all team members. Team leaders can help team members develop strong team work communication skills. The following are some of the key points team leaders can focus on when addressing communication skills among team members:

     

    ·    All team objectives and goals must be very clearly defined and understood by all members of the team, so there is no misunderstanding about what is expected of team members.

    ·    Team members must clearly communicate problems and issues with each other as well as the team leader so solutions can be arrived at quickly.  

    ·    Team members must feel confident that everyone is communicating openly and honestly, so everyone feels comfortable freely sharing ideas and opinions.

    ·    Team members should have planned meetings frequently where they discuss assigned tasks, assess progress, and make necessary decisions by consensus.

     

    Facilitating productive teamwork and collaboration by developing good communication among team members is not always an easy task for a team leader. Yet the results will make the time and effort it takes well worthwhile for team members as well as the organization.
