Hewlett-Packard's rush orders for parts ship to global customers in 4 hours as DC improves materials flow, reduces handling. "We work more like an emergency room for our customers around the globe," says Loretta Watson, distribution manager, Hewlett-Packard, "than a traditional parts distribution operation. We're responding to customers' needs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year-within a few hours."
