DHL Supply Chain - Memphis

Facing a growing e-commerce market and driven by retail promotions and a consumer consumption switch from offline to online orders, in addition to heavy seasonality impacts, DHL Supply Chain in Memphis, Tennessee established a strategic Fourth Industrial Revolution site, equipped with a control tower for centralized planning and execution oversight to manage and control E2E operations. This site has seamlessly integrated robots, analytics and a flexible staffing solution, resulting in a 50% overtime reduction, a 57% shipment cycle time reduction and a 290% increase in capacity, leading to a 28% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) since 2019. Consequently, the site has emerged as a primary training hub for the global adoption of new technologies.
