Solution: By analyzing product volumes and logistics costs, various solutions were identified. Rather than using the supplier’s forward storage warehouses, product was shipped directly from production facilities to consolidation warehouses already utilized by the company.
Results: Changing where product was warehoused, aligning production facilities to consolidation points and eliminating unnecessary transportation costs yielded significant COGS savings on products from the supplier. Savings resulted from reduced storage and handling costs, improved product routing, increased outbound product velocity from consolidation points and increased distributor inventory turns.
