Logistics optimization and WMS implementation
The challenge
A world leading group of exclusive fashion brands decided to outsource the operation of its North American distribution centre to a top-5 logistics service provider.
Immediately after the handover of the operational responsibility, a project was launched to optimize the distribution centres physical layout and processes and to implement Red Prairie as leading Warehouse Management System.
The Approach
- Solution design and carrier selection based on market driven lead times
- Contract and SLA negotiation
- GDP compliance
- Implementation of automated carrier allocation
- Carrier IT integration (order, status, delivery)
- Coordination of User Acceptance Testing
- Implementation of freight bill auditing
- Operational implementation and
- Performance management
The Result
LOGIBILITY implemented the GDP compliant direct distribution solutions for the assigned countries on time and in budget and with ‘first time right’ quality levels.
LOGIBILITY continuously assessed progress against the original business case and reflected design to the expected benefits and quality levels. This approach allowed LOGIBILITY to recommend the customer to reconsider the centralization of the inventory for certain European remote areas
