Owens and Minor Turns to Lucas to Support Growth
Owens & Minor has consistently focused on improving operations in its DCs through a combination of process improvement and technology investments. Those efforts had plateaued, and the company was facing rising costs due to increasing volumes of orders for less than case quantities. The challenge was to improve productivity and reduce the costs for picking low unit of measure (LUM) items, and to increase picking accuracy compared to their existing RF-based process which required scanning every pick line.
