Today, you\u2019ll hear from JLL\u2019s Managing Director of Supply Chain & Logistics Solutions, Bob Silverman, who supports JLL\u2019s Northeast industrial group. We discuss rules of thumb and important considerations for both occupiers and developers when choosing an existing warehouse or designing and constructing a new warehouse facility. You\u2019ll also learn about cubic capacity, best-in-class property features, how things flow \u201cinside the box\u201d and how to analyze efficiency. 4:30: Outbound transportation tends to be more expensive than inbound transportation and being close to the customer is critical. 6:39: Some users may benefit from modern, higher clear height facilities by gaining an extra pallet storage position. 11:54: The number of inventory \u201cturns\u201d varies by industry and can help determine an optimal building. 15:39: Tenants are balancing different types of space requirements to determine storage capacity to hold product and the \u201cthroughput\u201d requirements to receive and ship volumes. 17:43: In many cases, 36-foot and 40-foot clear are not being utilized, but capital markets considerations and future re-tenanting of the building are spurring the construction of higher cube buildings. 19:33: Site coverage standards are changing dramatically to focus on incorporating more flexible parking layouts. 22:54: Industrial power requirements are increasing as industrial users are requesting greater electric capacities for faster lift truck charging, air conditioning and powering the material handling equipment. 27:32: \u201cCo-bots\u201d is a term used to describe robots and people working side-by-side. 32:29: Autonomous yard spotters may be adopted more quickly than fully autonomous tractor trailers due to their operation on private property.
