Manufacturing capacity was not our problem, it was fulfillment from three plants and a warehouse that was the problem
This project plan was last updated on 11/30 after the WMS/TMS selection had been completed. The project plan was aggressive but we managed to get everything done and meet our goal of occupancy and functionality on June 1 st . The final IT integration test only passed on 5/25, racking labels didn’t arrive until 5/15, but couldn’t be put up since racks didn’t start installation until 5/22. On June 1 st , laborers were still caulking cracks in the floor and dropping decking into the 50% of the racks that were actually vertical. We joked that our goal was just to receive one pallet – receiving five pallets made it feel like winning the Boston Marathon.
No project would be complete without pictures. Construction began the week after Thanksgiving, which meant another winter of pouring foundations. Steel columns, tilt-up panels and a small internal office voila, your Finished Goods Distribution Center is ready. Because of our products there is no need for conveyors and the material handling interface headaches that brings. The coolest things in our FGDC are the vertical dock levelers and fast-charge lift trucks.
Plus this – the world’s first angled aisle distribution center.
