How do logistics affect the efficiency of your operation?  

In order to streamline you operation, you need to harden your supply chain and simplify your operation.  To simplify your process we must focus on the process by which you run your business.  Every operation is dependent upon the integration of six major elements of your Enterprise, including: 

  • Facility 

    • Size

    • Configuration

    • Operational Layout

  • Operational Processes 

    • Procedures

    • Execution Effectiveness 

  • Software 

    • Business 

    • Order Processing 

    • Inventory Management

    • Shop Floor Management 

    • Cross Compatibility  

  • Mechanical & Electrical Equipmen

    • Computer Systems  

    • Material Handling Systems

    • Storage Systems 

    • Data Collection Systems 

  • Management Objectives 

    • Strategic Planning 

    • Long Range Planning 

    • Quality Objectives

    • Profit Objectives 

    • Growth Objectives 

  • Personnel 

    • Capabilities  

    • Training  

    • Supervisory Effectiveness  

    • Communications 

Incremental improvements made over time influence the effectiveness of an operation. An improvement in any one of the six major elements affects your Enterprise. Many small  improvements made over a period of time can actually reduce operation efficiencies of the Enterprise. It may happen so slowly that it becomes nearly impossible to detect.  

We must be sure of the effects a change will have upon   integration within the facility and upon the upstream and downstream operational processes. 

We must ask if the existing software packages can support the change. 

We must determine if  the mechanical and electrical equipment support the increased productivity.

We must be sure any solution supports management's objectives. 

We must be absolutely sure a solution is within the technical capabilities of the people charged with producing the end result.
