• If we build a new distribution center, what is the size, shape and height that the facility should be to meet our growth objectives into the future?
• What strategic master planning options exist for a new distribution center?  Should we consider conventional, mechanized or automated material handling systems?  What is the business case associated with each option?
• What master site plans should be developed to ensure long term facility expansion plans can be successfully achieved?
• How can we do more with the facilities that we already have?  We want to maximize the use of our existing assets but we need to understand if this is the most cost effective strategy?
