Warehousing Review
We approach our responsibilities in improving warehousing and distribution in a four-step process.
The first steps of assessment are:
- Understanding your current warehousing set-up
- We determine by “mining” and “benchmarking”, along with review of your management staff and possibly some of your vendors and clients
- We determine what role systems & technology currently play and where it should be deployed
- Plan out a tentative budget and determine what options within the agreed parameters might work
The second steps include a “ROI”:
- What will be the initial expense, reoccurring costs and what financial benefit will come from any agreed improvements derived from the benefit analysis
The third steps of “operation” include:
- What operationally you will need to accomplish to make the recommendations work in your business model
- Technology will play a significant factor in this analysis and functionality in the warehouse
- We review the demographics and needs of your customers to factor that variable and nuances into the operational needs
The fourth and final steps of implementation include:
- Determining our role in the implementation process, as once the first three steps are accomplished, you may want to implement independently. We will always be there as required
- If you require, we will support managing the entire implementation process
Our basic goals in warehouse / distribution management are:
- Favorable impact to the bottom-line
- Ability to ship timely and cost effectively
- A customer-centric system
- Create efficient utilization of space. Hi density racking is a typical viable solution among many storage systems that evaluate as options
- Create a safe and efficient working environment
- Allow space for growth
- Maximize utilization of “state-of-the-art” technology
- Utilize equipment that can minimize man-power for handling and pick n’ pack requirements
- A system that keeps track of every material item down to the lot number, sku, product code or otherwise in any place, at any time in the controlled supply chain space … including in storage, WIP or in transit (inbound or outbound)
- Adherence to all local, state, and federal regulations
- Review workplace safety
- Review Demand planning, purchasing , and safety stock methodologies and parameters
Our basic goals in systems & technology are:
- Cost effective acquisition, reoccurring and customization pricing
- Customization capability
- Integration capability
- Complete bandwidth of functions that bring value to the client
- User/Operator friendly
