Eastern Dealer-"Planned ordering and unit loading with our lift truck enabled us to reduce our damage clairn" by $2,800 in just five months."
Nerv England Dealer-"Ours is one of the oldest build- ing materials companies in Massachusetts. We've been operating in the same way for so many years that until we had a planned ordering program in effect we didn't realize just how far behind the times we were. Beginning with load plot ordering and following through on storage and handling operations, we find that twice as much woik can be accomplished with our equipment, facilities and personnel."
Planned ordering can be beneficial even for the smaller dealer without fork-lift-truck equipment. For with a 1,000pound-capacity, two-wheel hand truck, a building materials dealer can completely unload 40,000 square feet of gypsum lath from a boxcar with four man-hours of labor.
There are a number of benefits resulting from planned ordering: substantial reduction in unloading time and costs; reduction in damage; easier inventory control; dunnage reduction and demurrage reduction.
