Warehousing

Mergers and acquisitions will often leave corporations spread over countries, continents or even the world. Changing the structure can be hard if not for emotional reasons if not other. It is important to get all facts in the open, and answer questions as;

In how many locations do I need to present to offer my customers the right service level?

Do we need warehouses in Jönköping, Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg. Or can we make it with one warehouse, and what systems shall be used?

Where shall my warehouse be localised to maximize service and minimise cost. What lead times can my customers rely on, given my choice of localisation of warehouses?

Changing the way of doing business might call for the need of outsourcing. What can be outsourced in logistics? What are the pros and cons? Under the header "Outsourcing" you will find more on letting other managing your tasks.
