FAQS about the FREE ‘on site'logistics audit
The approach taken in providing a FREE ‘on site' logistics audit of this depth and intensity is not typical within the logistics industry, so we appreciate you will have many questions regarding how it is conducted, what happens with the findings, and whether you have undertaken to commit to any actions having received the results.
Firstly let us clarify – YOU WILL BE UNDER NO OBLIGATION
The FREE ‘on site' logistics audit is a way of demonstrating our expertise. If we find your internal logistics process is running efficiently, we are happy to walk away knowing there is little value we can add.
Should we identify areas of improvement, you will have a percentage score of your current efficiency levels against those we believe to be achievable.
Why the percentage awarded will be measured against what is achievable with your current infrastructure
We understand you may not have the resources or capacity to order new equipment, commission a different warehouse management system or change your warehouse facility. What you will get is a score against the efficiency that could be achieved with a little process redevelopment, training and better allocation of existing resources.
How the efficiency ratings work
Projections of efficiency will be in the favour of the existing infrastructure, i.e. if we assess an area as 70% efficient, the minimum we would expect to improve that areas efficiency by is 30%. Our experience is that we can make improvements of 20% plus be self-funding and cost saving. In other words you will get a more efficient ‘on site logistics’ process at less cost.
If the improvement is less than 20%, i.e. you are running at 80% plus, then you will be given tips absolutely free of how you can improve on these areas.
What if significant investment could dramatically improve your internal logistics?
If we identify an area where new equipment and investment will make a significant difference we will make these findings known in the report together with an expected return on investment projection.
Absolute discretion guaranteed through our binding NDA
