• Developed a dynamic manpower allocation by pick zone that allowed first line supervision increase their picking productivity by 90% leading to a reduction in direct labor of 70%
• A direct labor reduction of $0.55 a unit was achieved through methods engineering and group incentives. This also resulted in a 50% reduction in the time required to process orders through the distribution center. This had a direct impact on the on-time performance of the distribution center

The Distribution Center is the last link of the manufacturer to the customer. A well- engineered facility has the ability to make up lost time from manufacturing and prevent poor quality to reach your customers. Retailers are demanding more value-added services. Your DC must be able to deliver this service and be flexible to handle all of your Retailers needs.

COMPANYABBV can transform your distribution center into a World-Class facility.
