Strategic direction and project implementation for a food warehousing & distribution operation.
Click-On Logistics have been long-term advisors with this Client. The in-house business reputation needed a boost and in the absence of an outsourcing solution, an internal review was undertaken.
A strategy was developed demonstrating that it would achieve a return on investment within 3 years. A major change programme was then developed that incorporated multi-functional change and increased volume throughput with additional customers. Click-On Logistics were either directly involved in, or provided project management support to the following major change areas:
-
Implementation of a voice picking system resulting in the elimination of paper in day-to-day operations.
-
Pick accuracy performance enhancements resulting in an achievement of 99.7% delivered accuracy
-
New activity profile of overnight deliveries - volume throughput increased by 45%
-
Working with the HR department on a training needs analysis and an assessment of jobs in the 'new world'.
-
Use of a strategic modelling tool to assess the impact of future business plans on the physical logistics infrastructure
-
Strategic assessment of the end-to-end supply chain activity and it's suitability for each individual brand
-
Assessment of the potential role of third party logistics service providers.
Click-On Logistics have provided much technical guidance both 'top down' to the Supply Chain Director, and also 'bottom up' at individual project level. Our knowledge of the Client operations, and of the food service market sector, coupled with our in-depth technical logistics expertise, allows us to deliver fast turnaround solutions. This Client relationship continues, as we have established our worth in delivering value over several years.
