Food Preparation and Distribution Leader Increases Capacity
Application: Morrison Devises Plan to Work Around the Clock
|
Client Need:
Food safety is good for business. Using this as one of their strategic value propositions, this leading food manufacturer has enjoyed booming success. Like most profitable businesses, controlling product and labor costs have been the driving force behind their increase in market share.
One of their facilities in North Central Ohio needed to expand to accommodate for new product launches. Management determined the best way to expand was to relocate storage systems while simultaneously adding to the capacity of the distribution center. This project involves: the removal of push back racking, carton flow racks, and pallet rack; and the installation of new Interlake selective Pallet rack and a Wildeck mezzanine with bar grating and push back racking on the deck level.
Morrison Company Solution:
To complete the work so the facility was ready for the storage of new products installation, work was to be completed on the 2nd or 3rd shifts.
Safety rules included the use of personal protective equipment; conforming to the six foot tie-off rule, and hot work permits as well as other standard safety rules were required by OSHA.
Results:
Installation crews were scheduled around peak production times to allow for a safe job site, and efficient assembly of the racking components. This process repeated itself over multi-week cycle culminating in an on time project completion. When completed, an additional 99 bays of pallet racking was installed, most of which on top of a 100 ft. by 20 ft mezzanine.
