Dr. Leonard's Healthcare - Edison, NJ
Storage System Redesign
Dr. Leonard's Healthcare, an online supplier of health products, exercise
equipment and dietary supplements, adopted a new strategic business plan
that included a revised acquisition plan and an expansion of their existing
product lines. Since Grace Material Handling Company (GMH) has had a
long-standing business relationship with Dr. Leonard's, we were contracted
to help redesign their storage system and order fulfillment process in their
major distribution center located in Edison, New Jersey.
We met with Doctor Leonard's management to review the overall project
requirements, some of which included:
- Kingway Flow-rack, Bulk-rack and Frazier Structural rack to be purchased.
- Planning for the reconfiguration and moving of existing rack.
- Project scheduling, to be completed in approximately 3 weeks.
The final layout involved reconfiguring the existing material handling
equipment to help improve workflow and productivity. New storage equipment
from Kingway and Frazier companies, along with refurbished bulk rack from a
local supplier, was purchased to accommodate the additional product lines.
The work was completed over a three-week period of time so as to not
disrupt the normal workflow during a very busy order picking time.
