OUR ACTIVITIES
Logisol Pro supports companies on their way to this excellence and cost
optimisation. In support of its expertise, acquired via various
national and international projects, Logisol Pro uses recognised
methods and aids, such as:
• strategy assessment to convert company objectives into operational objectives
• distribution, transport and warehousing (Quick Scan)
• stock optimisation: from item classification to determining
prediction techniques and analysis and determination of stock
parameters
• outsourcing method and contract and SLA templates
We can approach this in two ways:
• Study/consulting assignment with a focus on strategy, ASIS analysis,
TOBE scenarios, concept and analysis and eventual implementation plan.
Attention is paid to flow and process investigation completed with
substantiated qualitative analyses. The result is a new traced out
operation and a path to get there. This approach enables taking major
steps immediately towards the desired excelling, but usually also means
investing in infrastructure or cooperation with partners. We can also
support the implementation as project or interim manager.
• Continuous improvement: on the basis of a Quick Scan or assessment,
opportunities for improvement of the functioning in the existing
environment are sought, found and implemented. This method is supported
by directional data analysis and benchmarking to support the
feasibility and desirability of the changes. Often the foundation is
laid here for implementing Kaisen.
Our customers appreciate our result-oriented concepts and easily
implementable advice for several operational logistics and
supply/demand chain management subjects:
• Optimisation, layout and control of warehouses and distribution
centres, including process optimisation, WMS concept and selection,
benchmarking, performance models and guidance in furnishing and
start-up.
•Optimisation and control of transport and distribution networks,
including distribution centre localisation, process optimisation,
automation and benchmarking.
• Optimisation of demand forecasting and supply parameters.
• Supplier cooperation and service level agreements.

EXPERTISE AND METHOD
Warehouse Quick Scan: discover the optimisation potential immediately and implement the results fast.
Transport Quickscan: discover immediately whether your transport costs
are in accordance with the market and your orders can be sent to
carriers optimised.
Stock optimisation: forecasting and demand management, determining
stock policy and optimising stock parameters in order to realise
service improvements and lower cost of capital. Supported with own
tools.
Distribution network draft: method for feasibility studies &
benchmark, optimisation of the type and number of hubs in the network
and optimisation of distribution service and cost.
Building design/optimisation:
• Layout studies in warehouse and production
• Material flow optimisations, “de-bottlenecking” a flow
• Optimisation and choice of storage and treatment systems
• Automation studies, including feasibility
IT logistics:
• Defining concept of operation and converting it into IT concept
• Benchmark
• Selection of logistics package, usually WMS or TMS
• Performance measurement
• Project management upon implementation
Process optimisation:
• Process mapping and draft
• Time-based process capacity planning
• VAL, Stock control transport:
• Simulations & benchmarking (cost and service) • SLAs and contracts, including follow-up
• Mode and/or network type selection
• Selection of carriers and total cost optimisation
• Pooling/horizontal cooperation
Warehousing/distribution centre:
• Setting up and optimising warehouse operation, with all its
components (flow, process, system, technology, organisation and
guidance and performance measurement)
• Selection and weighing up auto ID technology: barcode, RFID, speech or visual recognition
• Time measurements and activity/cost models
• Automation alternatives and efficiency studies
• Outsourcing or doing it yourself
• Location studies
• Picking and packaging studies
• Setting up and implementing continuous improvements
• Performance measurement and reporting
• Customer complaints analysis and corrective actions
