Logistics operations
Logistics consulting that explains every loss and shows where to act.
JPL OPS analyses logistics processes, productivity and information to define a shared way of managing capacity, time, costs and performance by activity.
Talk to JPL OPSWhat does a logistics consultancy do?
A logistics consultancy observes the real flow, measures its activities and turns deviations into improvement priorities.
The analysis connects physical operations with planning rules, available resources and the data that explains performance. This distinguishes a capacity issue from a process, organisation or information issue.
- Capacity, picking and occupancy
- Process times and performance by activity
- Operating costs and productivity
How can logistics productivity be improved?
Improvement requires comparable targets, reliable data capture and a clear explanation of the causes of efficiency losses.
JPL OPS works from the process itself: mapping the flow, studying times, identifying non-value-added activities and reviewing how work is distributed across positions, teams or shifts.
- Standards and productivity control
- Workstation balancing and reduced idle time
- Visualisation of indicators and efficiency losses
What data does a logistics operation need?
It needs data that relates movements, inventory, hours, costs and activity levels to the objectives of the process.
Information may come from ERP, WMS, TMS, time tracking, Data Warehouse and other sources. The task is to define the origin of each data point, ensure traceability and automate the KPIs needed for decisions.
- Productivity by activity, team or shift
- Stock, movements and occupancy
- Time, service and operating costs
