Designing a warehouse built for a growing jewellery retail network
The context
National jewellery retailer. An expanding store network was outgrowing existing warehouse operations. The business needed to know what to fix now, and how a new site should be laid out to support long-term growth.
What we did
- Current-state assessment of warehouse operations to isolate inefficiencies and opportunities
- Evaluated planning processes for alignment with demand, capacity and expansion
- Developed future-state logistics operating model options
- Designed the new warehouse — layout and workflows optimising space and automation benefits
- Implementation roadmap sequenced by risk, effort and impact
The results
- New DC layout and workflow design ready for the new site
- Efficiency and cost-reduction opportunities across warehouse and logistics
- Clear roadmap aligned to retail network growth
