I agree with the main options, but I'd add that Inbound Logistics is also affected. I mean, the automatic re-ordering process is part of that, right? This company is really making the most of their IT systems.

Haha, I bet the warehouse robots are having a field day with all this automation. Do they get breaks, or are they just non-stop picking and delivering?
