Citi Trends Material Handling Case Study

Key Technology

  • Pick to Light (Acculight)
  • Blue Arc Engineering Pivoting Roller Conveyor Shelving and Lifts
  • Hytrol Sortation: Prosort SC and Prosort 90
  • Mecalux and Interlake Rack
  • Accusort Scanners
  • Warehouse Control System (WCS)
  • Manhattan Associates Warehouse Management System (WMS)

Business Challenges

  • The DC utilized a very manual flow through process with little on-site storage other than work-in-progress. This caused accuracy and productivity to be less than desired
  • The expansion and modification of the Darlington Distribution Center needed to meet Citi Trends growth goal of 800 retail stores
  • BMH needed to keep the current system operational while expanding and improving operations
  • The original Darlington DC was outfitted with a used conveyor system which was never properly installed or fully operational

Results

  • BMH reworked/configured approximately 6,108 feet of existing conveyor, and installed/integrated approximately 4,389 feet of used conveyor to reduce Citi Trends costs
  • BMH exceeded System Design Rates for both the Pack Sorter and the Shipping Sorter
  • Citi Trends is experiencing increased efficiency and improved ergonomics.
  • The project was completed on-time and under budget without disrupting Citi Trends seasonal operations
