According to Supply Chain Digest, the new performance that CVS has, is designed to impress. CVS has improved in every aspect of the supply chain. For instance, in terms of delivery, store delieveries are 98.4% on time, plus or minus 15 minutes. As for quality, inbound products are deboxed before being placed into storage to eliminate this task from the pick lines, and CVS is working with suppliers on new packaging concepts to eliminate this step altogether. Furthermore, the logistics group has direct intregration with each store's planogram, allowing the DC to pick in aisle/stocking sequence for each store. This speeds goods to the shelf, increase store productivity, and decreases clutter in the aisle.
