Do you really need a New Warehouse or Distribution Centre?
When your warehouse or distribution centre capacity is at bursting point, and costs are escalating while service levels are not being met, it is natural to assume that a bigger and maybe “smarter”, warehouse would go a long way to addressing the issues.
That maybe the answer but how can you be sure? Could you remedy the situation and/or buy time by investigating the primary causes of the existing situation?
Logistics Bureau’s consultants have extensive experience in assisting customers in the identification of causal issues through Warehouse Facility Design, Layout and Operations Audits.
These audits investigate the appropriateness and operational effects of the existing:
- S and OP
- Inventory/Buying Policies
- Levels of Service Offered
- Operational Processes
- IT Systems
- KPI’s
- Materials Handling Equipment
- Equipment Layout
- Warehouse Building Design
A change in even some of these could avoid the perceived need for a considerable expenditure on a new facility.
How can we ensure the optimum warehouse design & layout?
Companies rarely have available in-house expertise in warehouse facility layout and design, and the common response is to approach equipment/systems suppliers. Suppliers will naturally suggest solutions that can be met by their range of equipment. Their scope of supply and expertise will define their solution and so the investment required. The costs they incur in designing the solution will be recovered in the equipment cost. T Racking has over three decades of experience in warehouse facility and operations layout & design.
