Design and Project Management Put to the Test
Application: Configure and Install With No Downtime
|
Client Need:
In response to projected business growth, DEMCO desired to incorporate the new product line’s material at their current facility. The scope of the project was to modify the order flow operation to accept the new SKU’s, to more efficiency utilize the existing receiving area all when the facility continued to operate.
This order flow operations enhancement was to be made without effecting normal operations.
Morrison Company Solution:
The design engineering and project management teams at Morrison Company closely worked with DEMCO’s supply chain consultant to implement a two-fold material handling system. More specifically the engineered handling solution Morrison Company designed and delivered most effectively made use of DEMCO’s existing facility and worked well with the recommendation of their supply chain consultant.
A second level was added to the receiving area with a wide-span mezzanine. The design called for the newly expanded receiving area created by the mezzanine to interface directly with an order and fulfillment center to be converted from a multiple manufacturing operation located within the facility grounds.
Pallet, decked and carton flow racking were recommended and installed the accommodate storage, carton and split case pick applications respectively.
Results:
The resulting solutions added 500 sq. feet to the receiving area as well as 24,500 sq. feet in a new order and fulfillment operation. This was accomplished without effecting normal operations as the client specified.
