As a leading supply chain consultancy in Australia, Henderson Logistics have a wealth of experience to apply in improving your company’s performance and effectiveness in distribution and supply chain.  Warehouse consultants and transport specialists at Hendersons are fully tertiary qualified and have a proven record in distribution centre design, transport systems and in outsourcing of the distribution function.

Design solutions for warehouse layout and operating processes are a key skill at Henderson Logistics, especially in upgrade of existing warehouses to achieve maximised performance.  Our warehouse consultants will improve layout, manning productivity and goods flow through better warehouse design, often with little or no capital expenditure.  Growth in throughput can also be accommodated through improved design for better utilisation.

In relocations, Henderson’s warehouse designers can also develop the concept design of the new facility that would install best processes and performance.  Henderson’s warehouse specialists can assist in this process from initial design through to project management of installations and relocation. 

Materials handling within distribution can be an issue that constrains throughput and efficiency.  Each movement costs operating personnel time and elimination of excessive handling can yield impressive results.  Instigation of a single path goal system will reduce double handling and increase movement rates per hour.  This could be through improved warehouse design using direct vehicle loading, cross docking and automated installations.  Henderson Logistics materials handling consultants have conducted many tasks for clients that have yielded efficiency gains.

Effectiveness in transport is another key investigative service available from Henderson Logistics.  Assessment of transport rates, development of better supply strategies and critical appraisal of transport fleet can create immediate distribution savings.  Henderson’s team of transport consultants can establish the most effective transport network and vehicles to service your customer base.  As specialist logistics consultants, Hendersons have the skills to define the best strategy for supply throughout Australia.

As specialist transport consultants, Henderson Logistics can assess your current transport costs against known industry standard rates.  Issues such as break bulk, weight breaks and cubic conversion factors can be examined to develop opportunities for improved service at best cost structure.  Transport management of current fleet structure and in servicing the national customer base is a key skill of Henderson’s transport specialists.

Outsourcing of the warehouse is a strategy that requires careful planning to ensure that the best result is achieved.  Henderson’s logistics consultants can develop an outsourced distribution model that will cover all key aspects for outsourced warehousing or transport.  In planning your outsourced supply chain, our supply chain specialists can identify the best strategy and cost structure to clearly define distribution costs.   This can be confidentially modelled based on known market rates for services without the involvement of suppliers.

Existing outsourced distribution networks can be assessed for cost effectiveness and performance.  Henderson’s outsourcing consultants can review your current outsourced contract arrangement and develop potential cost savings in partnership with the supplier of contractor services.  Key performance measures can be coordinated with all parties to fairly access benefits achieved from outsourcing.
