Over time, stock became spread across several different locations, including certain manufacturing plants, existing facilities, and warehouses operated by external logistics providers (3PL). This dispersion made inventory management more complex and limited the overall efficiency of logistics operations.<\/p>\n<p>It became more difficult to maintain a clear view of inventory levels, coordinate operations, and respond quickly to customer expectations. The nature of the products also added to these challenges, as many items are heavy, bulky, and come in various sizes, making their organization and handling more complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Faced with these issues and rising external storage costs, MAAX Bath decided to rethink its logistics model by centralizing its inventories in a new distribution center.     <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"side-part \"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block-wrap-block_6c948ef615bc552d65f56069538fef8a\" class=\"block-wrap  msk-mt-none msk-mb-normal msk-pt-none msk-pb-none msk-block sz-normal\" style=\"\">\n\t<div class=\"super-grid \">\n\t\t<div class=\"side-part \"><\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wrap-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\r\n<div id=\"element-h2-block_286b81f0eb87410ef6bc85e21089daeb\" class=\"element-h2 msk-block alignnone  msk-mt-none  msk-mb-none has-noir-text-color\">\r\n    <h2 class=\"sz-small\">The creation of a strategic distribution center\n<\/h2>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\r\n<div id=\"element-wysiwyg-block_ec79495cf01ea52783eac24dd59e3b08\" class=\"element-wysiwyg msk-block alignnone\">\r\n\t<div class=\"wys_content\" >\r\n\t\t<p>To bring this project to life, MAAX Bath chose to open a new distribution center in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville and relied on the expertise of MSK Canada to support the design and layout of the warehouse. The selected building covers an area of 200,000 square feet and stands out for its uncommon height of 40 feet, a feature that offers strong potential to maximize vertical storage.<\/p>\n<p>From the very first stages of the project, an in-depth analysis of inventory and logistics flows was conducted in order to design a layout tailored to the company\u2019s operational needs.

The teams notably observed that nearly 80% of the products were stored in quantities of eight pallets or more. Based on this data, several scenarios were studied to optimize space utilization and operational productivity. MAAX ultimately opted for a hybrid approach combining <a href=\"https:\/\/mskcanada.com\/en-ca\/products\/single-deep-racking\/\">single-deep static racking<\/a> with <a href=\"https:\/\/mskcanada.com\/en-ca\/products\/pallet-flow-racking\/\">dynamic accumulation systems, or \u201cpallet flow,\u201d<\/a> a solution that offers high operational flexibility while reducing the facility\u2019s footprint and maximizing vertical space usage. In parallel with the implementation of this new configuration, the company undertook the consolidation of inventories that were previously spread across various locations, including certain plants and 3PL warehouses, thereby centralizing logistics operations within a single distribution center, resulting in savings of several thousand dollars per month in external warehousing costs.    <\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"side-part \"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block-evidence-block_2fcf666d0bfe99d6b3d9234398c9872b\" class=\"block-evidence  msk-mt-none msk-mb-normal msk-pt-none msk-pb-none msk-block\" style=\"\">\n\t<div class=\"evid-wrap\">\n\t\t<div class=\"evid-content\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\r\n<div id=\"element-wysiwyg-block_362ae4984bdc4b50e4ecb6b1a65aff4f\" class=\"element-wysiwyg msk-block alignnone\">\r\n\t<div class=\"wys_content\" >\r\n\t\t<h3>What is a 3PL?<\/h3>\n<p>A <strong data-start=\"3\" data-end=\"34\">3PL (Third-Party Logistics)<\/strong> is a specialized company that manages all or part of another company\u2019s logistics operations.
