Development of a logistics project

The development of a logistics project is usually required in the following cases: there is a desire to build a new warehouse, you need to reorganize and optimize the processes in the existing objects. In both cases, there are certain points.

Let's focus on them.

The construction of a new facility usually implies the presence of a certain predictive model of the company's development, but it does not have clearly defined logistics flow schemes. This is why developing a logistics project that contains a preliminary technological model is important. In turn, it contains modeling of potential flows, corresponding zoning of warehouse sections and calculation of areas. All this is calculated considering the growth indicators of the warehouse. Thus, the customer receives a ready-made project with optimal warehouse parameters, sections and operations assigned to them, as well as rationally selected equipment, containers and equipment. All this allows you to avoid unplanned expenses during the construction or arrangement of a new facility.

Reorganization and / or optimization of processes in the existing area where warehouse processes take place has certain difficulties. First, it is necessary to consider that the restructuring of logistics processes will take place at the enterprise, which cannot stop operations with cargo. Second, it is necessary to consider the available resources of the company, such as workforce, equipment and its condition, and materials. All this considerate by the managers of Sklad Service when developing the concept of a new logistics project. After all, it is necessary not just to develop a project that will satisfy the owner's dream, but to make it suitable for implementation, considering the optimal use of resources.

That is why the logistics project development service contains:

• full audit of incoming and outgoing cargo flows, warehouse turnover,
• analysis of the efficiency of warehouse sections,
• assessment of the level of integration of logistics subsystems,
• modeling and optimization of warehouse parameters,
• proposals for full or partial automation of certain zone and / or operations,
• calculation of resources for exploitation based on strategic indicators of annual growth,
• proposals for upgrading and implementing the WMS,
• technical and economic analysis of the efficiency and payback of the proposed project,
• creating technological documentation.

As a result, the customer receives a comprehensive logically constructed technological model indicating the stages of implementing changes. The customer can make these changes on their own through the created project teams.  Or involve Sklad Service consultants who specialize in simulation, modelling, process automation, and equipment supply. In the latter case, the customer receives the development of a logistics project and its implementation with minimal involvement of administrative resources and line managers.
