Improving and optimising your transport operation is a key part of enhancing the overall efficiency of your business. Our transport consultants can provide significant benefits both in terms of cost reduction and service improvement, and also provide a competitive edge.
Reviewing and redesigning distribution operations are a necessity given the dynamic nature of industry today. Business requirements include new customers, reduced lead times, changing order profiles, increased back haul, and the continued pressure to reduce costs.
Modelling and analysis of alternative transport options can determine the optimum solution for your current activity and identify how and where costs can be reduced, and service levels improved by, reconfiguring the operation. Our consultants will identify solutions to some common questions:
After initially reviewing and mapping your current transport processes and establishing a representative dataset for modelling, a list of potential alternative transport models will be discussed and agreed with you. Options can include:
Each option is then scheduled using industry leading transport modelling software to determine resource requirements followed by the input of your own, or industry benchmark; unit costs, productivity standards and the latest legislation to assess the relative impact on operating costs, service level and risk. Finally a full report covering the results of the modelling is prepared, with a personal presentation to review the findings and next steps.
To deliver transport solutions on the ground often requires the project management of an implantation phase. This might include changes to infrastructure, processes, and shifts. Systems implementations and the leading and training of teams.
Davies & Robson provides specialist support to lead transport change management projects.
This is a core speciality of our transport consulting team at Davies & Robson and an area in which our consultants support many companies, both users and providers of distribution services, year after year.
