  • Conducting a motion analysis of sorting and delivering packages
  • Purchasing more carts and hand trucks
  • Enforcing an existing agreement with suppliers to split deliveries among departments

The inventory operations unit-based team came together to make sure deliveries are kept safe and secure—and get to their intended recipients quickly and efficiently.
