One more green question: Assuming that they have some money to invest in greening their facilities, what are some other brick-and-mortar improvements companies might consider?
One idea is to install facility dock doors that open and close more quickly—or doors that have higher levels on insulation—because both can dramatically reduce a DC’s temperature loss. And (although it’s not a brick-and-mortar improvement) companies should consider investing in better advanced scheduling software programs to reduce the amount of times trucks have to wait—while idling their engines—for a dock door to open up.
