Standish, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2015 -- This week's Delivering Excellence shared a report by WiseGeek.com noting that the use of direct store delivery, rather than warehouses, has some potential advantages and drawbacks. By eliminating the warehouse in the inventory replenishment process, stores can receive products more quickly and companies may require fewer employees to accomplish the same task. Dealing with manufacturers directly at the store level, however, can be complicated, and when issues with damaged or incorrect inventory arise, it may be difficult for store associates to remedy such issues. Since direct store delivery systems are also frequently automated, there is room for error in discrepancies between the inventory according to computer counts and the actual inventory in a store. The physical movement of cartons does not change the ergonomic considerations.
