Toyota Opens Lexus Parts Distribution Center in Atlanta

Toyota Motor Sales has officially opened a new parts distribution center in Lithia Springs, Georgia.

The new Atlanta facility will employ up to 30 employees in 107,000 square feet of space. Stocking approximately 43,000 Lexus parts, the facility will serve 27 Lexus dealers in the Southeast, primarily in Atlanta, as well as a five state area that includes Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, and Tennessee.

According to Jason Brown, Operations Manager for Toyota’s Service Parts and Accessories group, “With same-day service in select metro areas and overnight delivery service by the next business day, we can help our dealers get Lexus Genuine Parts to our customers faster and with more service options.”

Best practices that are incorporated at the PDC include:

Strategically placed “Golden Zone” storage bins for quick and ergonomic access of the most commonly ordered parts
The use of Order Pickers, powered equipment that lifts the operator into the air to get parts stored from the floor to the ceiling, to achieve high density storage
Rolling deck cages used during delivery to provide damage protection for parts during transportation and to make the drop-off process more efficient
