In this issue of Best Practices, we explore the collaborative project between the MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics and Mecalux to accelerate logistics innovation. We also showcase, through success stories, how technology enhances logistics operations across various industries. For instance, in France, the 3PL provider Jung Logistique has centralized the fulfillment of 2,000 order lines in a mini-load automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). In Spain, hydrothermal components company Potermic has consolidated two warehouses to improve customer service. Meanwhile, in Italy, bicycle manufacturer Denver has optimized the management of 3,000 SKUs with Easy WMS software.
This edition of Best Practices also features an interview with Eva Ponce, Director of MIT’s Omnichannel Supply Chain Lab. Moreover, it includes articles and research on key topics such as improving sustainable delivery in e-commerce, managing substitutions due to stockouts in online shopping, and the role of AI-enabled analytics for business.
