Warehouse and Distribution Effectiveness

Pharmaceutical consultancyStep changes in the distribution industry are rare. Many of the fundamental principles underpinning an efficient and optimised distribution operation have been established for many years and, in the main, have remained unaltered. The financial payback on expensive technical advances is slow, and measurable improvements in customer service are often difficult to determine – RFID and voice picking being the most recent examples.

The real opportunity to improve distribution effectiveness frequently lies in optimising the current operations in light of changing activity profiles and service performance. Our step-by-step approach concentrates on the following areas:

  • Inventory Management
  • Warehouse Optimisation
  • Transport Optimisation
  • Distribution Outsourcing

So how do we approach Warehousing and Distribution Effectiveness?

It is all about delivering a competitive edge with logistics being transformed into a significant added value service to the operation rather than a necessary evil.

The Consultancy Company's approach typically follows a number of steps, though the detail is developed with each client as every business has its own specific idiosyncrasies or requirements that must be considered to ensure an appropriate solution. Our approach is one that can be tailored to apply to individual aspects of a distribution operation or as part of a holistic approach for a complete Warehousing and Distribution Effectiveness Programme.
