How the Process Works
Our labor management consultants advise on best practices as we review your warehouse map, evaluate process logs, and observe your workforce and if needed, we’ll make recommendations (including any necessary change management) and configure your WLM system accordingly.

DSC Logistics Drastically Reduces Labor Cost
Case Study: DSC Logistics
The Situation
- From humble beginnings 3PL provider DSC Logistics quickly expanded from a single Chicago location to over 50 logistics centers throughout the U.S. with more than 20 million square of space and over 3,000 employees
The Need
- To provide accurate, damage-free, and on-time deliveries in a safe and affordable manner, they needed to optimize their workforce and gain complete visibility
- The goal was to become experts at managing the large labor force including improving accountability and gaining the ability to analyze labor ROI impact for prospective tech initiatives
The Savings
- 20 percent reduction in variable labor spend across the entire logistics network after implementing Blue Yonder WLM
- A standard methodology could now be created for workers, true productivity can be measured, labor costs decreased, and overall throughput improved
- Blue Yonder WLM allows management to more accurately forecast workforce requirements and effectively schedule based on demand, events, weather, and types of automation
“It (Labor Management) has really been a key foundation for our success, and I would say when we first rolled it out, you could look at that as a pivot point within DSC’s journey and our history.”
