A Federal Logistics Network Improves Efficiency with a Comprehensive Warehouse Modernization Plan

A large federal agency overseeing a complex logistics and distribution network delivers medical and non-medical supplies across its facilities. With three distribution centers in Colorado and Illinois, the agency sought to make improvements and modernize its operations to keep up with demand.

Key Challenge

The agency faced two major challenges: limited storage capacity and a lack of automation. Rapidly running out of space, they needed expert guidance on whether to relocate or optimize their current facility to extend its usability.

Solution Implemented

Alpine conducted an extensive onsite assessment to evaluate existing warehouse operations, focusing on key areas such as data analysis, space utilization, equipment upgrades, labor allocation, and return on investment (ROI). With this information, Alpine provided the agency with a series of recommendations to modernize its warehouse and improve warehouse productivity while reducing costs and ensuring better service.

Results

Alpine developed a roadmap for success to guide the agency’s decision-making, featuring a 3-5-year phased modernization plan focused on ROI and operational improvements. Key recommendations included:

  • Warehouse Management System (WMS)
  • Pick-to-Light System
  • OPEX Automation
  • Vertical Lift Module (VLM)
  • Carton Erectors and Auto Tapers
By investing in these technologies and a carefully structured modernization approach, the logistics network can enhance operations, reduce costs, and improve overall service quality.
