ESTEE LAUDER - The essence of success in a new distribution centre

The Estee Lauder UK distribution network stores and distributes many hundreds of product lines and samples covering many different brands. Growth in the business had resulted in operations becoming spread over several sites and it was decided to bring these together into a single, new DC. This development needed specialist support and hence THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS was appointed to assist with the planning and design of the building, materials handling equipment and operational processes. The programme of work was to examine different options and to provide a cost-benefits analysis in sufficient detail for the U.K. management team to submit fully costed proposals to the Estee Lauder parent company in the U.S.A.
