Logistics optimisation
Logistical change starts with process optimisation
A good analysis leads to the right conclusion
Is your product range or your sales market growing? Is your warehouse struggling to cope with customer demand? Would a new warehouse offer more opportunities, and where should it be located? Or do you wonder if you should keep your own warehouse at all?
Improving logistics processes is becoming increasingly important in a world where customers have more and more information and requirements, lead times are becoming shorter, land prices are rising and labour is becoming scarcer. But where do you start with logistics optimisation?
In practice, one often starts with the conclusion: “Our warehouse is getting too small!”, “We might as well outsource this process!” or “A fully automated warehouse, that’s the future!”. In reality, these first statements rarely turn out to be the best: process optimisation is an art.
