MF Kansas City Distribution Center
I received the Musician's Friend August catalog a couple of days ago and it has all the new VM's on a single page. Looks sweet!
Some interesting facts regarding Kansas City, MO MF Distribution Center included in the catalog. Average number of orders shipped every day 9-10,000. Most orders shipped in a single day ~29,000. Over 90% of orders placed before noon shipped the same day. Floor space equals the area of 12 football fields. Over 4 miles of conveyor belts. Four hundred employees, 700 during peak seasons. Recycles 80 tons of material per month, 2 million pounds per year. All burnable trash is used for fuel. |

Oddly enough, I know two guys who work there, both in the guitar-repair area. It's a really big complex out in the country north of town. They used to have an outlet there and it was open to the public. They closed that about four years ago, unfortunately.

The photos were cool. That's a big distribution center. I'd like the know who wrote the item license plate software to make all the conveyors divert all the items properly. That's huge control.
