Single DC does it ALL for Sanford

摘要

By achieving a 65% productivity gain and a 99.95% order accuracy rate, one new DC does the job of three older warehouses for this writing instruments company. The event called for a top exec to chainsaw a giant, 14-ft-high wood pencil in half. When you're very big in the business of writing instruments, no mere ribbon-cutting ceremony will do. The occasion? A Grand Opening Day last year for a new distribution center for Sanford. Bob Parker, group president of Sanford and Newell Office Products, manned the chainsaw.
