The Solution
- Complete a material flow and dock analysis to gather data on the current production rate and work pattern
- Determine cost estimates and modifications for facilities and equipment modifications
- Establish material handling equipment requirements for each dock
The DSI Difference
- Constructed Circles of Work of the metering center to understand dock operations
- Calculated an estimated total cost of approximately $71.4 million dollars for conversion to fork free
- Estimated an increase of 59 tuggers to 8 docks for material handling
- Calculated an increase of 30 dock doors and 82 staging lanes to maintain the efficiency of dock operations
- Recommended modifications to the battery room to support additional tuggers
