The “Unlocking Hidden Cost in the Distribution Centre” research examines current views on distribution centre trends and challenges from senior supply chain and distribution centre managers within the UK, France, Germany and Northern America.With many businesses still feeling the effects of the recession, facing increased competition and being forced to operate on smaller and smaller profit margins, distribution managers are increasingly tasked with the seemingly impossible job of finding cost savings from existing operations.
