Why outsource to experts a quick logistic diagnosis?
- The internal human capital resources available to detect improvements in internal logistic processes are limited:
- Only 3% of the employees of companies in the logistic sector are oriented to process improvement graduates (*).
- More than half of the logistics companies have less than 10 employees and companies with more than 50 employees do not reach 4% (*).The redesign of internal logistic flows and inventory reduction can increase profitability by 15% to 25%.
- External experts are not influenced by daily pressure management and have:
- Extensive technology and ICT know-how.
- Expertise in the solution of logistic challenges: fast, current, and forward-looking assessment of “as-is” situation.
- In actual industry, there is a great potential for saving opportunities in internal logistic processes:
- Logistics costs are 11 % of sales costs (**).
- Almost 60% of companies have costs that represent 80% of turnover (*).
- In a standard European warehouse, 3000 hours are lost annually due to inefficient processes (***).
