Dressed for distribution success

摘要

When The Apparel Group Ltd. (TAG) sat down to design a new distribution center, it had two goals in mind. One was to create an automated materials handling system that would get the job done with the least number of touches and the lowest possible handling cost. Another was to build strategically by locating the facility in an area that would complement TAG's West Coast cross-docking operations, allow its sales people to better serve its customers across the country and improve its customer service levels, especially the speed to market.
