Our simulation results indicate that FC synchronization is not a viable option given current incoming box volumes and processing times. This simulation model can be used as a baseline for evaluating other shipping alternatives in the future by Staples."|"" |"" |"" |"" |"http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/"|"" |"Worcester Polytechnic Institute"|"2007-03-05" |"" |"" |"E-project-030507-012940"|"" |"" |"" |"" |"W/"7a547d8031435c4338644fca01cc748f275fe427""|"https://digital.wpi.edu/show/9593tw88n"
