The design of logistics solutions
The design of logistics solutions defines specific steps and solutions that are worth implementing in particular areas of logistics to ensure their effective functioning, i.e., achieving adequate efficiency while keeping costs at an acceptable level. Depending on the area under consideration, the project may involve developing a technological and organizational concept for a warehouse, indicating a reasonable scope of automation, defining specific algorithms for replenishing stocks, or building a specific transport model and terms of cooperation with carriers. The project is always preceded by a thorough assessment of the current situation (see Logistics Audit) and is therefore tailored to the needs of the company and the specifics of its operations.
Stages of designing logistics solutions:
We begin developing the optimal logistics model with an audit (more information about our audits can be found here). The purpose of the audit is to analyze flows and locations in the distribution network.
Next, by simulating alternative solutions, we identify the optimal distribution network model and develop a process design that defines the target solutions (in selected or all areas of logistics).
We develop a reporting model and guidelines for IT systems.
