On this latest episode, we speak with Jeffrey Haushalter, Partner at Chicago Consulting, which designs and engineers supply chains for manufacturers, retailers and distributors.
We focus on how the warehouse distribution network is becoming a critical decision in today’s fulfillment operations.
Where you decide to locate warehouses and the number you operate is extremely important. It affects your ability to compete, to scale, to control costs and the service you’ll provide to customers.
Compare it to deciding where to live. Once you pick a city and buy a house, certain decisions are made for you, like the schools your kids can attend.
We also discuss warehouse network analysis, which refers to the process of analyzing if your warehouses are in the right locations given your ship-to points. Key critical spend elements reviewed include: transportation, warehousing and inventory. Jeff recommends an analysis be revisited every three to six months.
