Quick Assessment Package

Unlocking Hidden Value in Your Supply Chain

A Structured, Independent Assessment - Quantified. Practical. Actionable

Are you experiencing these Pain Points?

  • Rising processing cost per unit

  • Rising freight costs

  • Low stock turns

  • High stock write offs and aged stock

  • Rising Cost of Goods Sold

  • Low stock accuracy or shrinkage

  • Not meeting store service levels or low NPS (stock availability, fill rate, DIFOT, pallet integrity)

  • Not meeting customer expectations (stock availability, pick/pack accuracy, fill rate, DIFOT)

  • Issues with supplier performance (DIFOT, quality, rework)

  • High unwanted returns

  • Delays in returning stock to be resold, before mark downs

  • Space limitation (floor or storage), poor product flow or congestion

  • Waste handling and reverse logistics including pallets/totes

  • Poor overall equipment efficiency (throughput, rework, downtime)

Our quick assessment is designed for:

  • Distribution centres under labour pressure

  • Operations transitioning from store replenishment to ecommerce

  • Businesses preparing for warehouse automation

  • Companies experiencing throughput bottlenecks

Where Value Typically Hides

Across industries, we consistently see:

  • Automation does not align to the current business model or is running sub-optimal (throughput, rework, downtime)

  • Capex decisions made without independent validation

  • Capacity constraints or congestion caused by flow imbalance, poor space utilisation or inefficient workplaces

  • Inefficiencies in travel time, wait time, change over time and task hand over

  • Workarounds causing inconsistent quality and high processing costs

  • High defect rate causing rework, returns and workarounds, without resolving root cause

  • KPIs are disconnected or information can not drive action

  • Activities being performed which offer no value to the customer or business

Our Assessment Approach

A Structured, 2.5 Week Diagnostic

We analyse five core dimensions, using standardised frameworks:

  • Operational flow & bottlenecks

  • Labour productivity & cost drivers

  • Space utilisation & layout effectiveness

  • Automation performance vs design assumptions

  • KPI transparency & cost linkage

We translate operational findings into financial impact.

Framework and Workshops

Depending on the pain points workshops are structured based on various methodologies:

  • Product Flow – Focuses on warehouse layout and how product flows through the warehouse including reverse logistics

  • Value – Focusing on the activities the customer sees as real value

  • Fault Analysis – Systematic approach to analysing issues with automation

  • Journey – Focusing on the end to end supply chain

  • Root Cause – Focusing on getting to the root cause of issues

  • Removing Waste – Focusing on processing efficiency, inventory efficiency and removing bottlenecks

  • Process – Focusing on standardised processes and operator instructions

  • 5S – Focus on an efficient workplace

  • KPI Framework – Defining the metrics that drive performance

Package Scope

This package includes:

  • 4 day site visit to one warehouse for assessments and meetings
