A Smooth Supply Chain
Supply chain flexibility and distribution centres
Extra space in the distribution centre (DC) creates extra flexibility for the company and for the supply chain itself. Extra space provides opportunities to improve internal processes and to optimise the transport, which often results in increased savings over and above the cost of any additional square footage.
Supply Chains are becoming more tightly organised and streamlined. Stock holding is being reduced and shipments have to be delivered according to strict delivery schedules. Saving on space in the distribution centre isn’t always appropriate. Of course every square metre costs money, but a bit more space and flexibility can yield effective results as well.
