RECENT PROJECTS
 Branded
Goods Distributor
Order and warehouse management systems review for a distributor of branded
goods. Existing systems and methods were studied and a comparison made
of the alternatives:
· Retain, upgrade and interface the existing systems
· Replace one system and integrate it with the other
· Replace both systems with an integrated solution
Ted Maley Logistics was subsequently engaged in a project management role
on continuation projects to:
· upgrade the existing hardware and WMS
· recommend and implement changes to the current storage to provide
a closer match to the stock profile. Analyses were made of current stock-holding
and current capacity and low cost changes identified and installed. Other
findings were that there was old stock that could be disposed of and that
the business had outgrown the existing warehouse.
· manage a programme of rack repairs
· advise on Health & Safety compliance. Primary risks were
identified and Health & Safety consultants selected to carry out the
risk assessments and draft policies and procedures
· extend use of the business system to cover order management.
This involved the analysis of purchase and sales order management procedures,
the development of User Requirements specifications and the management
of change processes.
Fashion and Food Retailer
Warehouse and supply chain review for a 3rd party logistics provider
on behalf of a high street retailer. Warehouse operations were studied,
future requirements specified, preliminary Requests for Information issued
to selected suppliers and costs for a new WMS provided. As a result of
the warehouse study it was identified that by changing procedures the
processing time for intakes could be reduced from 3 days to one day and
also that the time for replenishment to stores could be reduced from 36
hrs to 12 hrs.
3rd Party Logistics Contractor
Warehouse and systems review for a 3rd party logistics contractor. Existing
system and supplier capabilities were compared to future needs and the
adoption of a best-of-breed WMS was recommended. Advice was also provided
on the most effective way of meeting Sainsbury's labelling and ASN requirements
in a short timescale.
In support of a future move to a new warehouse, alternative storage designs
were compared, the size of the warehouse determined and outline capital
and operating costs provided.
Food Manufacturer
Provision of a shortlist of WMS suppliers to a consultancy working on
a multi-site project. Telephone interviews were conducted with selected
suppliers and a graded short-list of suitable suppliers prepared.
Hardware Service Provider
Warehouse operational review. Following a review of both physical operations
and processes, it was recommended that the warehouse should be redesigned
to better suit the goods being handled and that a WMS should be installed.
Subsequently a series of small projects were identified that could be
managed by the clients own staff.
Food Manufacturer
Project management of the functional specification stage of a project
for a Europe wide WMS system.
