Order Fulfillment Center

Basics

• An emerging model due to the rise of E-Commerce
• It takes the model of a Big-Box Store but removes the customer from the site, and replaces it with E-Commerce based odering of items, and Shipping (or Local Delivery )
• Thus the issue of Engineering the Space for Profit is Eliminated (or rather in most cases moved to the website design), allowing for Organizational Optimization and/or Warehouse Automation
