Bastian Solutions Releases Important Data in New Pharmaceutical Report

Indianapolis, IN, March 14, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Bastian Solutions just released important data in a new pharmaceutical report. One of the industry leaders, Roche Diagnostics Operations (RDO) was able to increase pack rates, reduce operating costs, and gain better visibility of carton-level details. Bastian Solutions and Hytrol Conveyor Company, teamed with Roche to improve processes by standardizing across all warehouses and implementing a more automated material handling system.

Working with Bastian Solutions, Roche Diagnostics implemented a conveyor system, picking technologies and Exacta supply chain software, helping the company achieve these best practices results:
· Increased carton pack rates by 30%. The added cubing functionality of the Exacta warehouse management system determines the contents for each carton up front as well as how many cartons to use for the order and which size cartons to use, speeding up the pack process.
· Reduced operating costs. Overtime and weekend work was reduced by 75% and an overall headcount reduction of 15% was achieved.
· Access to increased carton level detail and statistics. The visibility provided by the Exacta warehouse management system and the Exacta warehouse control system tools increased the amount of information available to managers to oversee the operation.
· Ability to manage peak demand throughout the year.
· Positioned the operation for future growth.
