Something for nothing? Many of today’s distribution center managers are being asked to provide just that! In an economy where capital dollars are as scarce as a taxi on a rainy day, productivity must go up with little help from equipment or software. This can pose quite a quandary for many sites.

The purpose of this research has been not just to establish the value of these ideas as much as to sort out the fact from the fiction and provide new insights into how to deploy capital light techniques such as motion studies, labor standards, and slotting.
