In business, there is no substitute for efficiency. In large businesses efficiency is an earned commodity. For Uline, North America’s largest distributor of shipping and industrial packaging materials, efficiency is the result of carefully considered, tested, and refined operations involving a complex web of interconnected people, parts and processes.
“We guarantee next day delivery and we guarantee everything is in stock,” shares Randy Copenharve, Uline’s Director of Facilities and Construction. “We have 28 facilities across the U.S. and we want all of them operating as part of a well-oiled machine. Operational excellence is how we do business, from the way we start our day to how we make decisions on the design and construction of our buildings.”
