Warehouse Management Services
Managing inventory in a warehouse is like solving a complicated jig saw puzzle. Having your inventory in someone else’s warehouse in a remote location is an even bigger challenge. We help you to identify if you should outsource your warehouse operations or manage it in house. We will also identify the most reliable warehouse provider who can deliver the expected service level at the lowest cost. As part of our efficient warehousing management, we offer the following services
- Public warehouse rate and service negotiations
- Material handling studies
- Design and layout reviews
- Cost benchmarking
- Security Issues
- Labor productivity evaluations
Order to Cash Cycle Improvement
Order cycle management is the process that manages the customer's order from the time it is received to the day the product is shipped out. The order cycle is a powerful magnifying glass through which to observe the intricate details of
- Revenue management
- Profitability management and
- Cross-divisional coordination.
Did you know that a 3% increase in perfect orders will result in a 1% increase in profits? Dissecting the order cycle management is a highly leveraged approach that will support trends in re-engineering supply chain management, activity-based costing, and continuous improvement.
At Totalogistix, we utilize Lean in conjunction with the Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) process to create significant impacts on throughput, order cycle time and inventory. We then identify and space the methodologies and processes to apply these concepts and tools in your organization and implement it.
Service Level Improvements
Is your service level your competitive advantage? Are you sure that your most important customer receives the best in class service? Are you providing your least important customer the same high level service as your best customer? If so, does the investment have an adequate return?
Service level optimization involves identifying your most and least important customers and providing different service level for your different clients such that the return on investment is the highest. At TOTALogistix, we conduct an ABC analysis of your customer base and help you align your organization with respect to your customers.
Better supply chain management can result in:
- 50% inventory reduction.
- 40% increase in on-time deliveries.
- 27% decrease in cumulative cycle time.
- Doubling of inventory turns coupled with a nine-fold reduction in out-of-stock rates.
- 17% revenue increase.
