Chicago Rountable presents:
The US
has seen astonishing growth in distribution over the last
ten years. This is especially true in the Midwest. Even
the layman notices the large box warehouses changing the
familiar landscapes along the expressways. To the uninitiated,
it would seem that distribution growth naturally pushes
a company out of their current sites to a beautiful, new
building. But as supply chain professionals, we understand
the costs and interruption risks of moving from a familiar
environment to a new site.
Our
May tour host, Magid Glove and Safety, is one
example where the costs and the risks of a move outweighed
the benefits. In the late 1990's Magid's operation was exceeding
the facility capacity both in storage and order processing
capability. Magid considered moving to a modern operation
in a new facility, but after exploring the possibilities
of modernizing their existing site, they discovered that
using conveyors, carousels, case flow rack, bin shelving,
and variable storage location sizes, they could greatly
improve the capacity of their building. Over the course
of 18 months, Magid completely modernized the site and now
a conveyor weaves between floors and rooms to move orders
from zone to zone prior to packing and shipping. High bay
and deep lane drive in rack replaced bulk floor storage
to provide improved density and reserve stock selectivity.
Carousel, case flow rack, and bin shelving provide over
pick facings for more than 30,000 SKUs with products assigned
to locations based on cube and activity. A warehouse management
system enables the synchronized flow of product and orders
throughout the facility.
