Compare this to the other trend I noticed the other day, JIT delivery beyond excess. Was in Walgreens, and a woman was restocking the shelves. She had a series of reusable plastic boxes, but they were all labelled by isle. So she'd take the box to isle 5 or whatnot, and there'd be 5 products in it. Literally the products sold the day before. EG, one box of toothpaste, one brush, that sort of thing. Asked her about it, and she loved it. Said before, she had to walk all over the store to restock, but not now. Later that week, I was in again and noticed a van unloading about 10 of the same reusable boxes. Definitely a powerful way to keep stock levels down, even if not working towards a squeeze to close-out path. I wonder on the comparative on daily van delivery costs vs say.. a larger truck once a week, along with stock levels. Some very interesting math there, including regional supply depots stock levels, maintenance costs of larger trucks versus a van, and so on.
