SUPPLEMENTS MANUFACTURER MEETS DEMANDS OF INCREASING VOLUME
This Colorado-based
nutritional supplements company knew that they wanted an order-flow
system that could keep up with current order volume while having plenty
of expansion room for future demand. They wanted a system that was
reliable and ergonomically friendly. They also wanted an operation that
responded to customer needs in a fast and accurate manner.
EAS achieved all of these goals with the opening in May 1999 of a new
modern distribution center in Golden. The 141,000 square-foot facility
seamlessly integrates a variety of conveyor and material handling
equipment. It employs the latest scanning equipment and computer
controls to ensure shipment accuracy and productivity. It also allows
workers to focus on their jobs without having to worry about the risk of
injury from heavy lifting or excessive manual handling.
In operation for just over four years now, the new installation has delivered multiple benefits. "We've experienced higher
shipping volume, better order accuracy, and a noticeable reduction in
wrong orders shipped", reports Shelly Phillips Metz, Vice President
of Logistics and Distribution. "Any order that is received by 2:00
p.m. is shipped out that day accurate and complete."
