1. Pallet Recovery at 75%
Situation
• A retailer was buying as many as 50,000 new pallets a year for two locations because pallets
were disappearing. What’s more, the pallets it was receiving were inconsistent and wouldn’t
always work with the retailer’s pallet jacks.
Solution
• Millwood took over management of pallet pool. Using the Pallet Design System (PDS)
software program, Millwood created an improved specification that increases the life
expectancy of each pallet.
Results
• Over time, the retailer has upgraded the pool so that every pallet will work with a pallet
jack. What’s more, with Millwood managing the recovery of pallets, the retailer is getting
75 to 80% of its pallets returned, significantly reducing the number of pallets that have to be
replaced each year.
