L'Oreal's layer picking system increases accuracy and traceability

摘要

In the world today, speed, reliability and availability are mandatory for businesses to survive, leading the cosmetic giant, L'Oreal, to seek more efficient ways to respond to modern markets' demands. In particular, it recognized the importance of adapting to the supply chain's changing environment and responded by automating its Walton, Ky.-based facility to meet the increasing demands of customers, ensuring future success. When the Walton DC opened in 2009, it used an entirely manual order processing model to hand-pick 10 million pounds per year, while also using a three-shift operation staffed exclusively with a sub-contracted workforce.
