A Process Built on Analysis
From initial discovery to implementation support, every step is designed to deliver data-driven confidence in your warehouse decisions.
From Question to Confidence
Each engagement follows a structured approach that builds understanding, validates assumptions, and delivers actionable recommendations.
Discovery & Scoping
We begin by understanding your operation, challenges, and objectives. This includes reviewing available data, touring facilities when applicable, and aligning on project scope and success criteria. Clear expectations upfront lead to better outcomes.
Data Collection & Analysis
We gather operational data including order history, inventory profiles, labor metrics, and process documentation. Our analysis transforms raw data into insights, revealing patterns and opportunities that inform every subsequent recommendation.
Modeling & Simulation
Using the insights from analysis, we build mathematical models and discrete event simulations of your operation. This allows us to test scenarios, validate assumptions, and quantify the impact of potential changes before any implementation.
Recommendations & Documentation
We present findings and recommendations backed by analysis. Deliverables include clear documentation, supporting calculations, and implementation guidance. You receive not just answers, but the reasoning and data behind them.
Implementation Support
Our engagement doesn't end with a report. We support implementation with vendor evaluation assistance, project oversight, and adjustment recommendations as real-world conditions evolve. Your success is our success.
Beyond Traditional Consulting
Traditional warehouse consultants rely on experience and intuition. We add quantitative rigor that validates every recommendation.
Quantitative Foundation
Every recommendation is backed by mathematical analysis. We don't just tell you what to do—we show you why it's the optimal choice through data.
Simulation-Validated
Before recommending changes, we model them. Discrete event simulation tests scenarios under realistic variability, reducing implementation risk.
Transparent Methodology
We document our analysis approach and share our working. You understand not just the conclusions, but how we reached them.
Vendor Independence
We don't sell equipment or represent manufacturers. Our recommendations serve your interests exclusively, free from vendor influence.
Structured for Your Needs
Whether you need focused analysis or comprehensive support, we structure engagements to match your requirements.
Focused Assessment
2-4 weeks typicalTargeted analysis of a specific challenge or opportunity. Ideal for:
- Validating a planned facility change
- Analyzing a specific operational bottleneck
- Evaluating equipment ROI before purchase
- Capacity planning for growth scenarios
Deliverable: Analysis report with findings, recommendations, and supporting data.
Comprehensive Project
1-3 months typicalFull-scope engagement addressing multiple aspects of your operation. Ideal for:
- New facility planning and design
- Major operational transformation
- Automation feasibility and selection
- Distribution network optimization
Deliverable: Comprehensive analysis, simulation models, detailed recommendations, and implementation support.
Ongoing Advisory
Retained relationshipContinuous support for operations teams driving improvement. Ideal for:
- Operations without dedicated engineering staff
- Continuous improvement programs
- Multi-site optimization initiatives
- Strategic planning support
Deliverable: Regular analysis sessions, ad-hoc support, and strategic guidance.
Working Together
Clear Communication
Regular updates, accessible explanations of technical concepts, and prompt responses to your questions.
Collaborative Process
Your operational knowledge combined with our analytical capabilities. We work with your team, not in isolation.
Actionable Deliverables
Reports and recommendations designed for implementation, not just presentation. Clear next steps with supporting rationale.
Honest Assessment
If our analysis doesn't support a particular direction, we'll tell you. Your success depends on truth, not validation.
