Otay Mesa location provides enhanced cross dock operational efficiencies.
San Diego, USA, 17 May 2011 - CEVA Logistics, one of the world's leading supply chain companies, has announced the relocation of its cross dock operations to a new facility in Otay Mesa, California.
The new location, which includes 28,000 square feet (2,600 sq m) and 14 dock doors, has been completely renovated to exceed previous logistics capabilities for customers along the San Diego and Tijuana border and opened for business on 2 May. CEVA increased its docking space by 25%, which allows for easier and quicker access for material consolidation and pickup. Along with the increase in docking doors, the layout of the facility has been configured for maximum efficiency.
CEVA has been operating in Otay Mesa for more than two decades and the main business operations will continue as cross docking. These cross docks are designed to give a customer's supply chain greater velocity and increase throughput at a critical point in the process by providing visibility of cargo destined for multiple locations.
"Our newly expanded facility will greatly enhance our cross dock operations," said Dennis Cancino, Station Manager for CEVA's California and Mexico cross border operations. "Not only will our customers benefit from our improvements but CEVA employees will also appreciate the new facility's upgraded features and redesigned warehouse offices."
Dedicated warehouse staff from CEVA receives raw materials from international and domestic suppliers then coordinates the consolidation and transportation to the customer's plant for manufacturing or assembly. The team also receives finished goods from customers in Mexico at Otay Mesa that are then distributed out both domestically and internationally. Other capabilities include:
Full Warehouse Management System (WMS) capabilities for customer visibility and inventory management
On site customer service staff to assist with transportation and compliance coordination
CCTV enabled, 24/7 security alarm coverage and weekend on-site security guard patrol
Raw material and finished goods receipt
Order fulfillment services
Warehouse storage.
