The Solutions Centre provides specialist services including analysis and design for those clients wishing to undertake logistical improvements or supply chain network development in order to achieve long-term sustainable competitive advantage. Solutions can be used to underpin decision-making in wider business contexts such as corporate strategy, risk management and investment appraisal.
Techniques and applications employed include data analysis, use of geographical information systems (GIS), process mapping, computer modelling and simulation to provide an expert view of current and potential scenarios in terms of cost, service and environmental impact.
Available services include preparation of specifications for supply chain networks and their related functional areas including demand planning, procurement, production planning and control, inventory management, materials handling, warehousing, transportation, human resources, and logistical information systems.
Solutions are robust and take into account operational reality at local, national or international level as appropriate. Although individual client needs vary, a summary of design services is provided here.
