Our warehouse consultants will spend time on site to understand the current processes, layout, systems, equipment, and resourcing. We will walk through the processes in detail, for example goods in including new product procedures, put-away, pick-face replenishment, picking, packing, marshalling, despatch, returns, value added services, stock checking etc. Based on this we can assess the current warehouse’s storage capacity, throughput capacity and productivity performance. We will make recommendations as to how capacity and productivity can be improved, process changes, recommend investments, and provide supporting cost / benefit analysis.
What gets measured, gets done! We can review your current KPI’s and ensure they are both fit for purpose and achievable. Putting in place management systems to allow for automated or easy collation and review of KPI’s is key to any successful business.
The unique demands of e-commerce are very different to traditional retail channels and distribution operations must be specifically tailored to reflect this. Key to an efficient e-Commerce logistics operation, is perfecting the design and process flows to optimise layouts, workflows, resources and systems in a 24/7 picking operation.
We will undertake an operational review of existing facilities, while in parallel analysing business data to understand the product range, material flows, stock and order profiles. Based on our experience of warehouse technology, associated capital and operating costs we will give a view on whether automation is likely to produce a satisfactory payback in financial terms, and what other advantages and disadvantages it may bring.
