Warehouse performance

1. Flash Audit

Our mission often start with a Flash audit of the warehouse to assess the performance of the operations and compare them to best practices. The audit allows us to identify malfunctions, propose and plan Quick Wins and major developments, in order to improve the quality of service, aim for cost reduction, and improve the quality of work through the deployment of innovative digital solutions.

2. Infrastructure sizing

Newton. Vaureal Consulting relies on tools to define or benchmark the characteristics of the building according to the operating processes (with stock, without stock, P-manufacturing) and for all the necessary surfaces (preparation area, storage area, shipping area, etc.). An estimate of the investment can be made for a new warehouse (real estate costs – construction, security, etc. – and equipment costs – racks, handling trolleys, automation, etc.)  

3. Operating process

Newton Vaureal Consulting has developed an extensive knowledge of warehouse processes in different industries (Retail, BtoB Distribution, Agriculture and agri-food, Health, Aeronautics and Defense, Maintenance, Construction, Consumer Electronics, Luxury) which allows the evaluation of the best processes to put in place for a given activity in the particular context of the company (strategy, investment policy, human resources, etc.).
