Project Background

Mizuno USA was experiencing double-digit sales growth when they determined that a new distribution center was needed to meet their business objectives. Customer requirements were also changing as key accounts (big box retailers such as Dick’s, TSA, Target, Wal-Mart) were continuing to drive sophisticated compliance requirements to make product store ready. Furthermore, customers were demanding that order cycle times be reduced to less than 5 days from order receipt to ship.

Project Background

Shortly after becoming a publicly-traded company, Carter’s needed more space and a more efficient operation to handle this increase in volume. A building had already been acquired in Stockbridge, GA when Carter’s partnered with Peach State to design the DC. Carter’s had several different business drivers affecting the DC design effort including a planning horizon of 2007 and high volume fluctuations due to seasonality of large cube fleece products. Carter’s had also added Wal-Mart as a customer and expanded their footprint with Target.
