You may be missing opportunities to improve on-time shipping to store sites – while at the same time lowering your costs
Our coaches work with your managers to develop a supply chain structure that gives you visibility into inbound shipments and store replenishment
Improved supply chain management will enable you to
- Reduce shipment replenishment cost to each store.
- Improve store performance by managing off-hour shipment to the stores.
- Lower store labor costs in receiving by scheduling inbound appointments for store replenishment shipments.
- Lower in-store inventory costs by improving turn rates with more frequent replenishment cycles.
- Use pool point or cross-docking delivery network by optimizing and consolidate shipments across stores delivering to pool points that perform final delivery.
- Create metrics to measure cost per pound replenishment shipment to each store and compare those to industry standards
Our coaches can also help you analyze where to locate your distribution centers to see if you can
- Improve your store replenishment fill rates with fewer distribution centers. This counter-
intuitive result is possible because you may currently be spreading your inventory over
too many distribution centers, which can cause shortages.
- elocate distribution centers to improve service to your stores and reduce costs.
Our coaches take you beyond one-time improvements because they help your managers develop the expertise to re-design shipping processes as needed in the future.
