Case Study
Before
Leading biomedical provider of diagnostic solutions and testing machinery needed extensive improvement and cost reduction in their order fulfillment, packing, and shipping operations. The wide array of products included many that are fragile, sensitive to temperature exposure, or even bio-hazardous, requiring specialized packaging to reduce shipping damage.
- Costly fulfillment and shipping operations
- Pick to cart system required more labor than needed
- Difficult to consolidate orders for shipment
- Cramped space limited production & storage capacity
- Packing /work station designs not employee friendly
- Process flow layout cumbersome / multi-touch
After
- Cut order fulfillment and shipping costs by 50%
- Cut operating space 50% / Doubled inventory capacity
- Conveyorized process flow links different work areas
- Mezzanine and vertical lift created additional floor levels
- Auto-sortation combines like orders at various pack stations
- Push back / pallet flow decreased warehouse real estate
- Capacity to Increase shipping volumes by over 500%
The high value of health and medical products along with their strict regulatory control should demand world class performance in both manufacturing and distribution. The application of software, material handling automation, robotics, and engineered storage systems can provide your organization with a competitive advantage that it deserves.
