Process: Warehouse Redesign |
|
Do you feel that your warehouse may still improve significantly? Do you wonder where to find opportunities for improvement, what they can contribute, which investments are required and how you can achieve them? Our warehouse redesign study provides an appropriate response to your questions.
Approach
Together with your people we map the bottlenecks in the logistics operation. We identify the business goals for now and for the future. We evaluate possible alternatives for existing bottlenecks and provide a qualitative and quantitative basis to make objective decisions possible. The final redesign should consistently support your business objectives where efficiency, quality and flexibility are paramount.
Result
The warehouse redesign has a broad scope:
- layout and design of the warehouse
- processes, goods flow and organization
- logistics management: planning, operational control and performance indicators
- agreements and cooperation objectives in the chain
- Software Support (ERP / WMS) and communication (voice, RF, etc.)
This design can serve as a basis for further projects, such as "requirements definition" for investments in warehouse equipment or a warehouse management system (WMS). From the warehouse redesign also follow an improvement plan with short-term actions for rapid results and long-term actions for structural improvement. Moreover, for all improvement actions we give an estimate of costs and benefits. After this you are ready to implement the improvement plan. Do you want to know more?
