Problem:
- Introduction of several new product lines within category were being held off due to lack of space
- Storage system for product line was out of sequence and spread over four different areas in distribution center
- Revenue stream from new product lines was being delayed
Process
- Held discovery meetings with affected departments to explore existing space and assess organizational needs
- Suggested four solutions to maximize distribution space within current facility
- Presented proposals and secure buy-in from parties involved
Solution
- Took advantage of underutilized ‘overhead’ space by installing customized storage mezzanine
- Developed and planned relocation of product line(s) on one weekend day (6 hrs.)
- Increased aisle space and work areas by over 300%
