When they embark on a warehouse automation project, many companies run up against Murphy’s Law, which holds that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. To help ease the pain, consultant and DCV blogger Ian Hobkirk has launched a series on how to beat Murphy’s Law when automating DC operations. For example, he warns managers to be prepared for productivity drops during the runup to the project and immediately after the go-live, and to budget more for operating costs during this adjustment period. You can find the series—starting with Part One: “What is Murphy’s curve?”—at blogs.dcvelocity.com/distribution_center/.
