Say it sounds like Walmart but the difference with the Home Depot RDC is that it doesn’t warehouse any of their products. Products comes in, processed to stores and out within 2/3 days. I pretty impressed with what the Home Depot RDC’s is doing.

Enter your comments here Having been a Shipping Manager in a Proprietary Environment, lumping all Logistics into the single basket of Manhattan Associates (food service) might not be an accurate representation.

The RDCs of Home Depot that are being referenced here sound an awful lot like what WalMart has done for many years, making them one of the best models of efficiency in supply chain and logistics in any retail environment. No wonder they can keep prices lower. And in this economy, it’s all about being as lean as possible.
