The most important thing about a warehouse is ensuring that it supports an organisations overarching strategy. But you’d be surprised how frequently this is forgotten – a failure that can be very costly.
Whenever SEC design a warehouse, we always start by considering and weighting six strategic pillars, which can be remembered using our “SAVES Cost” acronym below. These are:
Weighting each in terms of its importance to your strategy will ensure that you make good infrastructural and process design decisions. For example, is working quickly more important to your business strategy than working efficiently? If so, how much more? With effective priorities, we can then move on to identifying the improvement strategies that will have the most impact.
To help with this stage, we’ve listed some of our favourite improvement ideas for each pillar below.
We hope these ideas will be useful places to start, but its most important to weight your priorities, and ensure you have access to high quality expertise. Should you need any support in understanding how you can optimise your warehouse, don’t hesitate to reach out to SEC at www.sec-storage.co.uk
