Supply Chain System Review

We can identify systems or operational changes
that will benefit your business

Logistics Partners workbooks have been developed to enable a speedy review of the operational and administration procedures within the warehouse; including the use of systems to perform these procedures. For a particular supply chain systems review these will be tailored to the operation being reviewed. The review can include Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Transport Management Systems (TMS), Forecasting & Purchasing, Sales Order Processing (SOP), ePos and any logistics technology used.

Typical areas that can be included in a supply chain systems review:

  • Systems Architecture and interfaces
  • Customer Order Placement and scheduling
  • Stock Location and Inventory
  • Goods Receipt
  • Picking and Despatch
  • Returns/Claims
  • Store or customer order calculation
  • ePOS systems
  • Warehouse replenishment Purchase Order creation and scheduling
  • Transport scheduling and utilisation
  • Customer delivery

A typical supply chain systems review will involve:

  • Tailoring of the Logistics Partners workbooks
  • On-site review, including interviews with key personnel and shadowing of key operations
  • Preparation of the report
  • The results of the supply chain systems review will be presented to the relevant warehouse supervisors and management and a workshop will be organised to discuss the recommendations

The final report will:

  • Give an overview of the operational and administration processes currently in use
  • Highlight the system functionality available, but not currently being exploited and the projected benefits and costs of utilising this functionality
  • Propose operational changes that can be effected with current systems and the benefits such changes could provide
  • Propose customisations to current systems or new supply chain system or logistics technology that will improve the efficiency of the operation and the benefits these changes could bring

Examples:

Logistics Partners have successfully performed Supply Chain Systems Reviews for numerous customers. For example, we have reviewed:

  • The Ambient and Chill operations for Midlands Co-Operative Society, from forecasting and re-order through to warehouse despatch
  • The Transport, ordering and in-store systems for deliveries from the UK to non-UK locations for NAAFI.
  • The end-to-end supply chain from forecasting & ordering through warehouse management to retail sales for P&O Ferries

"Recommended!"

"Lynn's excellent knowledge of supply chain, logistics and warehouse management was invaluable in identifying weaknesses in current process and technology as well as identifying requirements for a new WMS.

Despite a difficult business environment Lynn continued to gain business engagement and produce work of a faultless standard. I am happy to recommend Lynn to any company looking to target improvements in their logistics division."

- Alisdair Walton—IT Business Analyst - P&O Ferries 2006 to 2008


"Cost Effective!"

"It was clear in the joint proposal put forward by Aricia Limited and
 Logistics Partners that they had identified our issues and a cost-effective
 way of addressing them. This assignment really helped us to progress our
thinking."

- Chris Emmel, Buying Director, NAAFI
