Facility Design and Engineering

  • Are our DCs designed to support today’s business?
  • Is there a better way to utilize the space within our facilities?
  • Should we retrofit or should we build a greenfield facility?

Peach State uses a fact-based approach in developing the most efficient material handling solution and facility design to balance the trade-offs between the cost of space, labor and equipment.  Our approach includes:

  • gathering extensive operating data
  • documenting current business processes
  • analyzing the data to develop alternative operating scenarios
  • detailing expected future productivity enhancements
  • determining the cost and service levels of the alternative designs
  • ROI for each incremental level of automation

As a result of this approach, we provide the best use of company assets to allow for the most appropriate mix of labor, space, and technology with detailed execution strategy.

Peach State has extensive experience in greenfield DC design and also in retrofitting existing DCs while still protecting the day to day ongoing business operations.
