Case study – supply chain
Logistics and manufacturing transformation for a large bakery
20% increase in
8% reduction in fleet drivers
We help our clients to cope and compete in tough times
Our approach drives operations/ manufacturing excellence
manufacturing line efficiency
Our client was struggling with inflationary pressures, a competitive labour market and changing consumer behaviours. We worked with them to enable them to offer better value, while maintaining product quality and investing in innovation.
We worked with the client to build an IoT dashboard, LineVision, to measure line performance, flag problems and analyse causes. This enabled the team to drive improvements in labour efficiency. Our team reduced material costs through improved line efficiency, labour planning and recipe development and reduced waste. We worked across 20+ warehouse/DCs to optimise the pick process for deliveries to stores and drove 15%+ improvements in pick rates. We developed a warehouse performance model and labour forecasting tool to enable managers to order the right labour, enabling 10% of cost reduction across warehouses, while maintaining service levels for all customers.

We work with clients to optimise planning and shipping
We worked with our client to build a planning tool using machine learning capability to enable better decision- making on shipping of products to customers. Bringing together the commercial and logistics teams, we reduced delivery frequencies, optimised routes and reduced drivers by 8%, creating a significant cost-saving opportunity for the client.
