We partnered with a global brewing company to review a multi-purpose historical site in Europe
A global brewing company needed a review of a multi-purpose historical site including visitor centre & museum, production & bottling activities, national warehousing for product, POS & raw materials. All connected by rail and road. This included:
- Automation & mechanisation
- Future-proof the site to prepare for long term growth
- Intra-site flow analysis
- Distribution network review
The impact in action
+41% warehouse storage capacity saving
New space for proposed bottling production
Opex and Capex budgets including project payback
On-site capacity for POS & raw materials storage
We worked on several projects across Europe to help improve their manufacturing logistics and distribution centre operations through new facility design, process improvement and the introduction of new technologies.
How we made it happen
- Reviewed current operations: wall to wall operating processes, intra-site flow mapping and distribution network analysis
- Current volumes, resources and costs framed to create a baseline
- Volume, product & packaging mix change forecasted for next 5+ years
- High level identification of opportunities to reduce logistics cost and improve service
- Further site development options identified to meet future warehousing and production capacities including a new automated storage solution
