Every day, healthcare solutions leader Cencora (a Fortune 10 company) ships pharmaceutical products and treatments to customers such as pharmacies and hospitals. Each shipment leaves from one of the company’s state-of-the-art distribution centers in totes. The totes are durable and designed to be reused — but there was currently no process in place to track what happened to the empty totes after initial use.
DIF Role
Create an enhanced tracking methodology to track totes, considering cost, reliability, usability, and integration with existing systems. Additionally, the solution should account for change management and its impact on team member processes.
