The new facility, which can support 250,000 unique SKUs, is expected to reduce the time needed to prepare inventory for redistribution by 43% and support inventory accuracy up to 99.5%.Leaders from NAPA and corporate parent Genuine Parts Company (GPC) were joined by York Mayor Sandie Walker, state and local elected officials, the York County Economic Alliance, community partners and teammates for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of the facility at 500 Willow Springs Lane. “York is the first step in a broader modernization of the NAPA supply chain,” said Justin Ducharme, executive vice president, supply chain, NAPA. “By combining innovative technology with the expertise of our teammates, we’re creating a more efficient operation that helps keep parts moving to the customers and repair professionals who rely on us every day.”During the ceremony, the GPC Foundation presented a $2,500 Good Neighbor grant to United Way of York County. The grant supports the foundation’s mobility priority and reflects a shared belief that reliable transportation opens access to jobs, health care and stronger family life.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3dJzHV_1GzBFW5900" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3dJzHV_1GzBFW5900" width="600" height="300" ></figure>As the first highly automated reverse logistics center within the NAPA network, RLC represents an important milestone in the company’s efforts to enhance operational capabilities and support the growing needs of customers across the Northeast, the company said.</div></body>
