Alba Logistics provides specialist services in warehouse strategy, management and design to clients in the manufacturing, distribution and logistics services industries. Our services span the full spectrum of requirements from strategy development to concept design through to commissioning and handover. The following services can be contracted individually or in combination.

Logistics Strategy Development and Implementation

What exactly is it that the organizations needs to achieve in terms of Procurement, Transportation, Warehousing, Logistics IT and Distribution Channels to fulfil the wider goals and objectives of the business? Strategy development is the process of clarifying and simplifying the mission so that direction is given to the diverse logistics functional areas to empower them to plan the actions that will deliver the desired results.

It is one thing to develop a logistics strategy, but it is a very distinct undertaking to actually implement that strategy. Whether in manufacturing, distribution or logistics services the challenges will only be overcome through the effective IMPLEMENTATION of coherent logistics strategies. Clarity, simplicity and accountability together with congruent communication and consistent action are the bedrock on which the ability to implement must be built.

At Alba Logistics we will guide you through not just the development but, more importantly, the IMPLEMENTATION of effective logistics strategies.

Warehouse Benchmarking and Performance Measurement

Develop business-relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and measures of operational excellence to ensure that your warehouse outputs can be measured accurately and managed effectively. Benchmarking is not just about the metrics but rather about how the metric is achieved – we will guide you to develop and implement best practice in the processes, tools and methods required to achieve top performance.

Warehouse Design and Implementation

Determine the optimum size and shape of your warehouse making provision for all of the activities that must be carried on. Choose the right mix of storage and handling equipment and the most appropriate technologies so that you save money by investing only in what you really need. Reduce and eliminate unnecessary waste and complexity to reduce variability in service levels. We deliver state-of-the-art warehouse design solutions from concept through to implementation.

Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) Specification and Selection
