Case Study
How Apollo Supply Chain helped a leading multinational Fast Moving Electrical Good company achieve storage optimization and significant cost savings.
The Challenge
The manufacturing plant was supported by a vast supply chain network with suppliers and distributors located across the country. The manufacturer dealt with high logistics costs accruing from the movements of finished goods between the plant and distributor locations. The challenge faced by the company had the following main features:
The Solution
The supply chain network design needed to be rejigged. The origin-destination pairs, for example, needed to be rationalized taking their respective distances from warehouses into account.
The Apollo Supply Chain team implemented a mix of ground and rack storage configuration to improve utilization and reduce costs.
The team improved and optimized warehousing processes at three warehouses located across North India, which together handled nearly 0.05 million SKUs.
The total number of warehouses needed to be consolidated to optimize resource utilization and compliance costs in line with local and national regulations.
Efficient transfer planning resulted in relocation of an existing warehouse within a week’s time.
A reduced cost of goods (COG) was obtained through improved network optimization and warehouse consolidation based on a study that helped in saving the in-transit cost.
The Result
Improved Cost-Efficiencies
Capacity Improvement
The annual tonne-km by 29 percent
Reduced Transport Cost
The transportation cost by nearly 7 percent
Optimized warehouse space
Reduced warehousing area by 26 percent
