Logistics & Distribution Strategy

Logistics & Distribution Strategy is the evaluation of the most cost effective methodology of distributing goods to market while achieving service standards. Logistics strategy can be product-specific, customer-specific and location-specific. What’s more, supply chains for each industry are also dynamic and evolving.

L&SC Strategies can work with you to develop and execute logistics strategies that optimize the flow of products and information within the supply chain, within your distribution network and within each distribution centre. To achieve supply chain excellence, it is critical to continuously evaluate alternative cost-cutting strategies that enable competitive advantage.

Our approach to developing a logistics strategy commences with a strategic review in order to identify and align with the company's strategic supply chain objectives and operational requirements.

We then undertake a structural review to examine requirements for warehousing and distribution to determine the optimum requirements. This is followed by a functional review which identifies the requirements to achieve excellence in each logistics function. This involves an assessment of the people, processes and technology to meet customer needs.

The final step is the development of the implementation plan for implementing the new technology, new policies and procedures, training and development of personnel, communication and change management strategies.

L&SC Strategies supply chain specialists provide value by conducting an unbiased evaluation of the facts and statistics behind your enterprise. By translating detailed operating data into meaningful logistics strategies, we will reduce costs and improve your bottom line.
