Process Measurement & analysis
Quite often, as an experienced manager you will sniff out possible problems that ramp up your costs, and your instinct will tell you there may be money that can be saved to help the bottom line.
But after that, it can be quite hard to know what impact it may be having or whether it is really worth treating as a high priority to solve. And basically, without quantifying the impacts precisely, you'll probably never know.
Hadrian Logistics Solutions helps identify unnecessary logistics costs by performing a very detailed methods measurement and procedures analysis of each task within your warehouse.
At the end of this process, it is possible to quantify exactly what your employees are spending their time on when performing each task type.
Fascinating insights
The information you will learn can be fascinating.
One Hadrian client learnt that pickers were spending 10% of their time re-handling product after they had picked it due to the poor slotting of the warehouse (boxes of chips were slotted after boxes of soft drink, with the obvious consequences for damaged product).
Another learnt that due to the very old batteries in use, storemen were spending a good portion of their time each week just changing the battery on their pallet movers and forklifts.
