Strategic Review Transport

Do you run your own fleet, and if so do any of the following apply;

 

• Is your fleet ageing and require new investment?

• Are the ever increasing running costs of fuel, labour and insurance cutting in to your margins?

• Are the overhead costs affecting profits during undulating turnover periods?

 

If one or more of these factors are being highlighted more often than not, then CONTRACTING OUT may be a real and timely alternative for your business.

 

We would take time to examine your delivery portfolio and present cost per pallet/unit of your goods for your consideration.

 

ALTERNATIVELY, you may have already contracted out, BUT your distribution costs are not show the economies of

scale benefits you would expect from growth and increased turnover. Analysis could reveal significant savings by adopting a hybrid arrangement of own account distribution and sub contract for outlying areas.

 

Storage Strategic Review

For a growing business, the expanding need storage of finished goods or materials storage on site can create serious bottlenecks to production flow and ultimately impact on productivity and margins;

• Are customers demanding "just in time" deliveries, putting pressure on limited racking or bulk space?

• Do you need more space for core activity - Manufacturing or collation of goods?

• Would offsite material storage with consolidated daily deliveries for production save space and labour?

We have found that serious amounts of management time can be taken up fire fighting daily issues created by some of the above problems. Regardless of efficiency implications, key management time is diverted from core activities

of production, fulfilment and sales. There are many options we can propose for your perusal and consideration.
