Challenges:
Euro Car Parts wanted a detailed business case prior to investing in the facility layout and design of a newly built national distribution center. The company:
- Wanted to develop a business case for likely performance and resource requirements
- Wanted to be able to test alternative layouts and scenarios without the risk and additional costs of trying to fix issues retroactively
- Needed to maintain customer service levels for their national customer base
Solutions Implemented:
A CLASS consultancy enabled the team to quickly simulate the baseline model and run at forecast volumes, selecting the optimum design to ensure it met the design goals.
- CLASS Consultancy
Benefits:
CLASS challenged reluctance to change and provided business cases for new processes:
- By creating a baseline model, we facilitated a “fast track” understanding of CLASS modeling for Euro Car Parts users
- CLASS has since been rolled out as a best practice tool across the business due to the added value it has delivered
