Case Study: Carton Roller Equipment Installation

Summary

Bluestones One Retail were selected to support Ikon Ltd with the Installation of carton flow shelving into Alliance Healthcare Nottingham.

150 carton flows were required to increase productivity and picking rate.

Challenges

The Bluestones team were requested to work around the existing shift patterns to ensure minimal disruption.

We were tasked to complete the work over five weeks with specific site “quiet times” supplied to us. This enabled us to plan our work efficiently and to complete the work on time.

Results

We delivered this Installation on time and within budget with fantastic feedback from not only Ikon Ltd but also Alliance Healthcare.
