The GAP Distribution Center in Fishkill, NY is one of GAP’s six distribution campuses in North America, where teams unload incoming boxes of merchandise, process and sort them, and create the outbound shipments for delivery to GAP retail stores.  Each distribution center uses state-of-the-art warehouse merchandising equipment.

 

The tour will include a review of the GAP’s distribution center processes:

·         Inbound: Offloading process and a new “4I Initiative” that involves vendors entering carton attributes, and labeling cartons.

·         Stocking: Forklift replenishment process and movement of product to different picking areas in preparation for outbound shipment

·         Unit Picking: Where individual units not meeting full-carton demand are picked and packed for shipment to stores

·         Sorting:  The automated Crisplant system that sorts merchandise by store into a chute system and then will inform associates when carton demand has been reached in order to close carton and send to shipping for loading.

·         Shipping: Automated 96 door shipping wing where shipments are loaded for service to the 325 NE stores through Line haul and Direct store Provider.
