Logistics Warehousing Case Studies
Sytac has a proven track record of delivering supply chain improvement across a whole range of industry sectors.
This has been achieved by Sytac consultants working closely with the management to improve operational efficiency through effective inventory management, stock storage, picking and packing efficiency, and reducing waste.
Case Study 1 – Warehouse operations
A high volume next day delivery operation was having difficulty maintaining service targets. Sytac consultants identified and led the implementation of a performance improvement programme, changing working practices that increased the lines picked per man-hour by 30%. The subsequent improvement in quality, accuracy and number of lines picked were a major success for customer service.
Case Study 2 – Warehouse (Stock) Location
A national office products supplier acquired 5 companies each with their own warehousing operations. Sytac consultants led and facilitated the integration of these operations into one National Distribution Centre and 5 Regional Distribution Centres
Case Study 3 – Inventory Management
The majority of working capital for a national company was being consumed by stock in their centralised warehouse. Sytac consultants facilitated the analysis of the product range, lead times and stock turn to identify the optimum inventory required. Subsequently the value of stock held was reduced by 10% without effecting availability or fulfilment of customer orders.
