Our Mission: Identify performance drivers to optimize your logistics and transport division
In a context of increasingly rapid globalization of trade, logistics and transport activities are crucial to adjust to the new ways of consuming and meet the environmental requirements.
Logistics could be defined as “the art and manner of making a given product available at the right time, in the right place, at the right cost and with the best quality”.
As a source of added value, logistics aims to implement the principles of continuous improvement (link to the page) by ensuring proper coordination between supply and demand and this by covering various actions, ranging from the supply on delivery to inventory management.
Its optimization is a key element in operational excellence. It is therefore essential and highly sought after by the majority of companies.
The challenges of controlled logistics and transport are significant. Today, we have to deal with increasingly demanding customers who are concerned about quality and speed of delivery.
We will help you and your clients to achieve your goals by learning to supply you without load interruption, use a suitable distribution network, deliver on time while controlling the overall cost, or optimize your warehouses.
Thanks to its adapted approach and innovative methods, our teams will help you to build the action plan that will make your logistics efficient.
Logistics master plan
They are many reasons why Supply Chain departments are rethinking their logistics master plan: external growth, mergers, product diversification, increased demand, focus on value-added tasks, etc.
The definition of a logistics master plan is a strategic step for your company and requires looking at the entire supply chain, from the supplier to your warehouse, including your customer.
We support you in defining this new scheme by helping you to raise the relevant questions.
