Case Study - Warehouse Site Selection
Logistics Management June 12, 2006
GREVEN, Germany—DHL opened a logistics center in Greven, Germany—located near Munster, Germany—scheduled to start handling the complete logistics operations for the shopping channel HSE24 (Home Shopping Europe) in July. Up to 40,000 packages can be shipped from the center in Greven on a daily basis.
According to DHL, the decision for the site in Greven was primarily the result of the infrastructure that already existed with the package center. Another factor was the site’s proximity to Germany’s most heavily populated region, the area around the Rhine, Ruhr and Main, and the good transport connections to metropolitan areas in northern Germany.
In a company release, DHL said the basis for the service is a 30-meter tall, fully automatic high-bay warehouse, flexible working hours and the direct link to DHL Express’ neighboring package center. The packages will flow directly into the DHL network, and HSE24 customers will receive their products much faster than before. DHL’s services for HSE24 cover goods receipt, quality control, warehousing, order picking, package delivery, and returns management.
Roughly $44 million was invested in the center and 250 new jobs will be created.
