Restructuring and expansion

Restructuring and expanding logistics: Trade is change – this adage is often all too true and is used by executives in trading companies and industrial conglomerates alike to emphasise and demand a permanent willingness to change. The fact is that the performance of your business can be severely hampered by a change in order and sales structures or product ranges.

Restructure and expand – stay competitive!

Do you want to reorganise your warehouse or production, or are you considering investing in a new building? Because this involves large investments and complex tasks, planning should be done in good time and based on all the information relevant to the decision. This applies to both restructuring and expansion. The basis is a joint development of the planning fundamentals based on the analysed current situation and defined future expectations. ORGAPLAN Logistics GmbH can look back on many successful reference projects and experience in the field of warehouse logistics and factory planning as a logistics consultant in the areas of warehousing and production.

Changes in the structure of domestic retailing, the tension between industry and retailing and the ever-changing demands of retailing also pose new challenges for logistics. For example, the product range is constantly changing due to the large number of new and discontinued items, follow-up items, promotional and seasonal goods in a retailer’s assortment.

In addition, changes in competition, increasing concentration of sales due to population density and shifts in consumer demand affect the requirements for a logistics location. If you want to prevent a loss of competitive advantage in good time, you need to reorganise through measures such as organisation, warehouse technology, systems technology, automation or building expansion. If you plan carefully and consistently, you can usually achieve significant cost savings and avoid or postpone major investments such as new buildings. In short, the typical goal of logistics restructuring is to increase or maintain the productivity of a site at a competitive level.

The core element of a restructuring plan, a thorough status analysis, first identifies a number of weaknesses. ORGAPLAN Logistics GmbH then develops and proposes measures. A catalogue of measures is then drawn up together with the project team and evaluated in terms of costs and expected effects.

Finally, if desired, ORGAPLAN Logistics GmbH will support you in the implementation of the approved improvement measures until the planned effects are achieved. In addition, we can draw on extensive references from many successfully completed restructuring projects.
