Century 21 Department Stores Hires Boston Industrial for its NEW DC!
Century 21 Department Stores, New York's leading discount retailer has recently hired Boston Industrial Consulting, Inc. to assist in the design and simulation of its new Distribution Center in New Jersey.
Century 21 Department Stores was established over 40 years ago, and has a reputation for offering high quality merchandise at discount prices. The retail operation consists of 5 high-volume locations, with expansion plans to make a greater presence in the New York / New Jersey area over the next 5 to 10 years. The need to accommodate high growth, as well as reduce its total distribution costs, drove Century 21 to a decision to consolidate its operations into a new Distribution facility.
Century 21's new DC will employ the efficient use of automated material handling systems, and improved process methods for processing, picking and packing. The operation's dynamic nature, involving hanging, flat, and carton product for its nine key business units, will incorporate a new Warehouse Management System as well. New processes will employ state of the art control systems to effectively cross-dock, transport, store and ship product efficiently to their stores. Occupancy is planned for 2008.
Boston Industrial Consulting will assist Century 21 Department Stores and Material Handling Suppliers in the design, project management and simulation of the new distribution operation. Boston Industrial Consulting will work closely with Century 21 Distribution Leaders to establish an efficient and effective operation, as well as balancing storage and material handling efficiencies to meet the growing demands of the retail business.
Boston Industrial Consulting continues to grow its retail capabilities by adding Century 21 Department Stores to its retail client list, which already includes Party City, Tiffany & Co. and Zappos.com.
