Distribution Operations Assessment
The Operation Assessment is a service designed to provide our clients with an objective analysis of their current warehouse or distribution operation and to identify potential opportunities for improvement.
Targeted at the leadership within a client organization, it may be performed as a stand alone activity to benchmark an operation or may be used to set the stage for significant change.
Key components of an Operation Assessment include:
Layout Review / Material Flow Analysis
- Process Review / Best Practice Evaluation
- Information System Review / Gap Analysis
- Storage / Product Slotting Analysis
- Labor / Process Cycle Time Assessment
- Space Analysis / Capacity Assessment
At the conclusion of the Operation Assessment, the client
receives a formal report containing six primary deliverables.
Each of these formal deliverables focuses on one of six critical
measurements
within a warehouse or distribution center:
- Best Practice Scorecard
- Productivity Index
- Product Slotting Evaluation Matrix
- IS Gap Analysis Report
- Material Flow Schematic
- % Capacity Calculations
In addition to the formal deliverables listed above, each client also receives two lists outlining opportunities for improvement based on their specific assessment results:
- Low cost tactical actions that can be implemented immediately ('low hanging fruit')
- Longer term or more capital intensive opportunities for
improvement (these opportunities may
be more strategic in nature or may require more detailed analysis)
