Supply chain strategy &
optimization

Logistics is a very broad concept that goes far beyond the transportation and storage of a product.
According to the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) in the UK, the 7 Rs of logistics are:

Getting the Right product, in the Right quantity, in the Right condition, at the Right place, at the Right time, to the Right customer, at the Right price.

That is, the 7 Rs :

Right product
Right quality
Right condition
Right place
Right time
Right customer
Right price

SNR undertakes to co-design your company’s logistics network strategy with you and to support the optimization of your existing operations.

Indicative areas:
• Distribution centre location
• Flows from production / suppliers
• Order taking / cutoff times
• Warehousing
• Distribution networks
• Service speed vs cost
• Use of 3PL providers
• Systems / automation
• ROI on investments

Every logistics project, no matter how similar it may seem to another, is unique. That uniqueness demands a design from scratch, not a copy-paste approach. Designing from scratch obviously takes more time, but it often forces you to think outside the box. And an out-of-the-box solution is very often the one that fits best. SNR will support you in maximising your logistics performance, with solutions that are simple, fresh, and beyond the beaten path.

Why should a company use an external logistics partner?

• The main reason a company turns to outsourcing is flexibility, reduction of fixed costs, and exploitation of economies of scale.

• In logistics specifically, outsourcing gives us the opportunity not to hold more warehouse space than we need, to pay more only when business grows, to pay less when business slows, and to leverage the partner's distribution network.

Why should a company NOT use an external logistics partner?

• The most likely reason a company does not proceed with outsourcing is the high level of specialization it may have, a factor that creates concerns regarding a third party’s ability to successfully deliver the same scope of work.

SNR executives possess extensive experience in 3PL operations and, beyond costing, will advise you on whether and why you should transition to a logistics provider, which parts of your operations it makes sense to outsource, and how to structure a win-win contract.
