Garage Flow

Started yesterday we have reversed the garage flow.  The diagram below, although clearly not to scale, is an illustration.  The concept is to have a work lane (for those incoming trucks that need to be washed, cleaned and VSTed) and a drive lane.  The hope to pull the trucks forward into their ultimate parking spot just is not going to work.  As Mr. Beckenbach stated so eloquently, "the geometry just doesn't work". 
So, we've backed the trucks up as they were before and will continue to tweet the work lane process. 

The reason for this change is here:

1.  We've had the crews destocking and restocking for a month now.  The majority of them are into the swing of it now.  Now is the time to start tweeting the process.  Putting them closer to the Pyxis room door will assist in reducing foot traffic too.

2.  We have to work towards eliminating trucks waiting to get in the door.  This will give them a minimum of 3 (sometimes 4) waiting spots inside instead of outside. 

3.  In the winter, this "on deck" waiting time will allow trucks to warm up a bit before we start washing them. 

I invite you to use this blog by commenting.  The idea is that we can share thoughts and communicate back and forth even when we are not in the same building.
