Engineered standards assist a company with budgeting, managing labor costs, scheduling and planning labor initiatives. With the cost of labor totaling more than half of a distribution center's costs, controlling costs is critical. Labor costs are increasing with changes in services to clients such as smaller, more frequent orders and more value added services.

Maynard's All-New Engineered Standards for Distribution™ packaged solution meets the needs of operations personnel with well-documented, credible and accurate standards that are designed to feed labor management systems (LMS). Organizations using a LMS can expect a seamless integration between the standards and workforce planning systems.

What's in it for you? Take a look:

• Database with standards to cover DC-typical operations.
• Engineered standards developed and validated for one distribution center.
