Overview: The Dunkin' Donuts Mid-Atlantic Distribution Center (MADC) is a franchisee-owned, stand-alone non-profit corporation that services 1,400 restaurants in eight states and the District of Columbia. The Burlington DC is 300,000 square feet, with 134 doors and a cross-dock layout. The facility is not just larger, but dedicated pick and put-away aisles eliminate congestion. While this arrangement takes up more space, it allows simultaneous picking and receiving 24 hours a day, if need be. Because of the more efficient layout and operations, there is rarely a need for extended hours of picking and receiving. One way that MADC tightly manages its DC operations is with intense use of its private fleet that it leases from Ryder Transportation.
