The efficiency of the logistics system is key to the responsiveness required to meet the demand for greater flexibility in industrial flows.
Context and challenges
The very high standards of customer service, combined with the sometimes mediocre reliability of forecasts and the difficulty of securing procurement flows, are at the heart of the challenges faced by industry when it comes to steering and managing its product stocks as effectively as possible.
Warehousing space and facilities generate significant costs that need to be kept under control.
The increasing automation of warehouses, digital operating assistants and the availability of qualified staff in areas with high logistics density are all factors that are making stock management more complex.
In response, profound changes may be required to the organisation, processes, information and control systems (WMS, WCS).
The Axsant approach
Axsant’s support is characterised by :
- A general analysis of the geographical, budgetary and environmental aspects of the logistics system.
- A detailed diagnosis of the operation and performance of all facilities (warehouses, shops, cross-docking plateforms, etc.).
- Drawing up the dashboards and KPIs needed to ensure full control of the logistics system as a whole, and to characterise its intrinsic level of performance.
- Working together to draw up and implement the general layout of the storage and preparation equipment, then the precise layout of the products in the stock according to the input/output behaviour models.
- Analysis of ERP/MRP settings and stock models
- Recommendations in terms of organisation and processes to ensure reliable results, and management of the associated transformation and implementation plan.
