Because of fluctuations in demand and supply, distribution centers frequently have a variable amount of products moving in and out of them.

Having an insufficient amount of labor in distribution centers results in increased lead-time to process orders and lowered throughput, resulting in congestion and pileups in the supply chain.

On the flip side, having an excess amount of labor results in higher expenses for the firm and lower productivity metrics.
