Learn from the present, build for the future: What’s your warehouse and supply chain strategy?
U.S. supply chain experts are weighing in on what can be done now to make our supply chain more resilient. How will your company adapt its supply chain to respond to future global shocks? What is your warehouse and supply chain strategy?
Streamline your delivery systems
A high-technology manufacturing facility in Mexico was not meeting customer delivery dates. Daniel Penn Associates assessed their warehousing and logistics operations. As a result, we implemented improvements to satisfy customer delivery requirements and address their warehouse supply chain strategy.
The project addressed multiple issues: materials management, purchasing, receiving and receiving inspection, stock locating, inter-plant transfers, transportation, manpower loading, supplier integration, inventory replenishment, and reorganization.
To meet the client’s objectives, we implemented corrective actions, including:
- Redesigning the receiving and inspection process
- Developing a staffing matrix for warehousing operations based on workload and performance standards
- Consolidating three warehouse operations into one
- Establishing transportation runs and frequency between the plant and the warehousing operations
- Establishing materials and purchasing replenishment processes
- Implementing accurate inventory transaction and tracking solutions
- Redesigning the materials flow process between warehousing operations in the US and Mexico
- Designing and implementing a warehousing management reporting system for tracking performance and conducting root cause analysis

How We Work
Daniel Penn Associates can tackle and solve your receiving, storage, layout, shipping, and distribution issues. We get to the bottom of your door-to-storage, storage-to-picking, and picking-to-shipping woes.
Our process involves talking to employees who do the receiving, storing, picking, and shipping. Examining how staff levels and picking tactics can support shipping requirements. Evaluating how space and cube storage systems affect warehouse layout. Learning how packing and shipping materials are used and disposed of. Evaluating equipment and product placement, process flow, and congestion.
Based on our evaluation of your supply chain, warehousing, and delivery systems end-to-end, we’ll recommend and help you implement improvements that support your vendors, employees, distributors, and customers.
