Logistics Process Review and Value Stream Mapping for a Cosmetics Distributor
The Challenge
The company needed recommendations to scale the business. Retail order packing was a bottleneck, and planning processes and data architecture did not support inventory optimization or warehouse workload balancing.
What We Do
On-site warehouse assessment and analysis of volume, inventory, and order data.
Development of conceptual plans for redesigning the warehouse layout.
Analysis of planning processes and inventory and ordering policy.
Analysis of the IT systems architecture and development of a value map with recommendations.
Results
Potential to increase outbound throughput by around 35–40 percent.
High-bay storage utilization at 79 percent, with identified reserve capacity.
Private-label inventory turnover roughly 20 percent better than the market average.
Summary
A review of warehouse, planning, and systems processes identified significant potential to increase outbound throughput and storage reserve. The engagement delivered a value map and recommendations for implementing integrated planning and product lifecycle management.
