The Need for Lean Distribution Center Operations

Combining a lean strategy with the right automated technologies significantly improves business processes and functions, while simplifying daily operations. Creating lean DC operations is accomplished by identifying the tactics and strategies for a warehouse design which eliminate wasted touches with automated technologies. Selecting the right blend of automated equipment with the optimum design for less labor touches returns the fastest ROI and delivers that required competitive edge.

Automated warehouse technology delivers significant returns by eliminating manual, redundant processes providing valuable increases to productivity. Modern technology today includes various designs of automated conveyor systems, voice picking systems, print and apply systems, vision inspection with automated sorting and many other automated systems which deliver high accuracy of 99.9% while providing rapid paybacks in cost reductions.
