APPROACH TO COLLABORATION
Flexible and tailored to your needs – the client can choose the scope of work that best suits their current needs.
STAGE 1
We analyze the current organization of logistics processes based on the client’s data.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A professional logistics analysis provides an objective assessment of warehouse and transportation processes, as well as inventory management strategies. By analyzing actual data and key performance indicators, a company receives concrete recommendations for changes that lead to cost reductions, improved customer service, and more informed investment decisions.
A logistics audit is an analysis of processes related to warehousing, transportation, inventory, distribution, and work organization. Its purpose is to identify areas where a company is losing time, money, or service quality.
First, you need to identify where the costs are arising: in inventory, transportation, warehousing, order fulfillment, returns, or work organization. Only on this basis can you identify measures that will actually reduce costs without compromising service quality.
It’s worth conducting this analysis when logistics costs are rising, delays are occurring, the warehouse can no longer keep up, inventory levels are too high, or the company is planning a reorganization, WMS implementation, or automation.
Cost optimization is achieved through a modular approach: redesigning intra-warehouse processes, reviewing the distribution network structure, and selecting the right IT tools. Łukasiewicz – PIT supports companies with cutting-edge knowledge based on research and simulation models.
Integrating ESG principles requires identifying the interdependencies among the various elements of the logistics process. The institute’s experts help incorporate these aspects into a company’s strategy, which improves efficiency, enhances the brand’s image, and enables compliance with EU legal requirements.
Identifying bottlenecks requires an analysis of the stages that slow down the supply chain — such as an inefficient receiving area or errors in transportation planning. Through direct observation of processes and interactive workshops, experts pinpoint specific areas that need improvement.
