Coca-Cola Amatil wins manufacturing logistics award


 
Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) was presented with the prestigious Manufacturing Logistics Award at the Supply Chain & Logistics Association of Australia’s recent national awards ceremony in Melbourne.

“This practice is very opportunistic, however, Dematic’s patented Negative-PUT software re-sequences orders to generate the highest quantity of negative pick opportunities and the optimum order fulfilment sequence for any batch of orders, creating substantial productivity gains.
 
“Around 70% of the DC’...
