SUPPLY CHAIN & LOGISTICS
SUPPORT PROJECT KICK-OFF
Our Approach
We provide the client with a full understanding of the logistics requirements, sources of cost and risks that might impact their project success. Topics to be included are sourcing strategies, general routing options, freight costs, facility impacts (warehousing, level of automation) and inventory costs. We identify key decisions that will be needed and provide a timeline as to when these decisions are needed.
BENEFIT 1
Accounting for Hidden Start-Up Costs
Ensure that programme financing studies do not overlook what can be very significant costs for a new venture, such as warehousing costs and the need to purchase start-up inventory ahead of production start up.
BENEFIT 2
Early Decisions to Optimise Facility and Costs
It is essential that necessary decisions are made early enough in a programme to optimise costs and operational efficiencies once production is in progress. In particular the production facility must be sized to fully cater for warehousing and parts handling requirements.
