Briggs & Stratton - Fulfillment on the Move

RedPrairie’s Slotting solution expedited Briggs & Stratton’s move to a new facility and improved throughput

Briggs & Stratton is the world’s largest producer of air-cooled gasoline engines for outdoor power equipment. In the span of three years Briggs & Stratton’s replacement parts business exploded from about 35,000 SKUs to over 105,000 SKUs due to growth and new product lines. They decided to develop a new purpose-built 300,000 square foot distribution centre in Menomonee Falls, WI (MFDC) for their replacement parts packaging and distribution business.

To maximize the efficiency of the move to the new MFDC and on-going production, Briggs & Stratton decided to implement a pick-face slotting application. After evaluating several alternatives, they selected RedPrairie’s Slotting solution.

The results:

• Expedited staged movement of inventory between facilities

• Improved facility throughput at least 10 percent

• Enabled RF-directed put-away for inventory accuracy
