302 Module 1 Case Assignment TUI
Warehouses
and Distribution Centers
Ask, “What’s the difference between a warehouse and distribution center?” and you’ll
get different answers. Move on to the array of technology available to automate and track materials
in this part of the supply chain and beyond, which is evolving at a rapid pace. Experts point to cost savings through effective inventory
management and innovative technology to maintain a
competitive edge which have been embraced by leaders in the field.
We covered the labor force during this week’s Discussion
and location decisions in SLP 1. Let us move on to what is going on inside
warehouse/distribution centers and the important functions they play in the
supply chain.
Case
Assignment
Begin with the background readings to provide a
foundation, and then research at least three diverse technologies that are
being used in warehouses/distribution centers that help manage and track
inventory and product within the facility, including those that are employed down
the supply chain.
- Discuss the three technologies, and then add an overview of initial
costs and cost savings, if applicable. Include information on how these
technologies affect human workers with regard to job displacement, safety,
etc. Finally, discuss the software that supports functions within the
facility for each new tech item.
- The discussion for
each technology should be 1 page in length.
Resources should be no more than
three years old for this Case because the industry is changing rapidly and the goal
is to remain relevant throughout your career.
