Tesco
Tesco required a clear definition of the maximum capacity of its chill cross dock centres. This needed to be combined with the corresponding operating processes and procedures to ensure this capacity could be delivered.
We conducted a detailed operational review that mapped out the timing and phasing of key activities, and corresponding utilisations of equipment, space and labour. We identified opportunities to reduce dwell time, process cycle time or both.
The study defined both the maximum depot capacity (+25% on current) and the operational blueprints for the DC to deliver this capacity. These were subsequently rolled out across the network.
