gaps in their efficiency. Is your business growing? Are you expanding or
consolidating your operations? One key to effectiveness is the relative
dominance of picking or storage activity. These two warehouse functions have
opposing requirements. Are you concerned over the prices of fuel changes? What
values are gained when your company goes “Green”? Encouraging safety practices
