Materials Management

Materials Management: Today’s warehouse is a fully integrated part of the supply chain and business enterprise, margins can be improved, sales increased and customer expectations met.

The opposite is also true; your warehouse activities can erode margins, reduce sales and irritate customers, getting it right first time is where we can help. Warehouses are often one of the most expensive elements of the supply chain but can equally be left alone for many years with the legacy layout remaining largely unchanged.

A review of your warehouses layout and storage media will often lead to improved storage capacity and better productivity. Warehouse improvement projects can be the result of a failing warehouse due to capacity constraints or an exercise to reduce costs and improve service levels.

The approach is the same, a range of our standard tools, techniques and applications are used with the target output being multiple warehouse improvement initiatives, from easy to implement immediate changes through to more complex change plans all of which will reduce costs, improve service levels and be affordable.
