of accessories for the Apple iPod is launching hot
new products, adding new retail customers and growing
at lightening speed. Solertis expands the operation
and measurably improves labor efficiency while building
a new culture to enable additional future growth.
Distribution
Process Improvements: A leading supplier of
automotive interiors wanted to make the several improvements
to its largest distribution facility. Solertis presented
tactical recommendations to improve processes and
flows ensuring maximum productivity as well as customer
satisfaction. Solertis projected the recommendations
would yield labor savings of $500,000 annually while
ensuring higher levels of reliability for customers.
Distribution
Center Assessment: How do you measure up?
A leading photographic film manufacturer wanted to
assess the efficiency of their Americas distribution
center and identify opportunities for improvement.

by 17%!
Project
Management:
Covering
All the Bases!
A major manufacturer and marketer of frozen and refrigerated
products did not have adequate logistics infrastructure
to accommodate the major growth they had recently
experienced. Solertis was able to transition the company
from a multiple-site, fragmented logistics infrastructure
into a new state-of-the-art 450,000 square-foot distribution
facility.
Supply
Chain Optimization: Getting it where you need
it, when you need it
Solertis is selected to evaluate the supply chain
network of a full service telecommunications company.
Solertis provided specific recommendations to reduce
inventory by $2.4 M (65%) through improved inventory
management, increased inventory system utilization
and inventory redeployment.
Warehousing Operations : "An ounce of
prevention, a ton of savings"
After large billing errors are discovered at a distribution
company, Solertis is called in to reinvent warehousing
and order flow operations to prevent future errors
from happening. Solertis evaluates current practices,
and implements recommendations that net the company
a total savings of $80,000 in the first year alone
through enhanced order processing, improved order
accuracy and overall warehousing efficiencies.
Domestic & International Freight Review
: Service up. Cost down!
A $60 million manufacturer needs to evaluate and improve
their inbound & outbound domestic and international
freight processes without adding to their payrolls.
Solertis performed comprehensive review of the company's
freight needs, which ultimately leads to streamlining
the carrier selection process to save the company
significant dollars and resources, and to drastically
improve customer service.
Business Expansion : Operational Excellence
leads to $20 Million in New Business
A $60 million distribution company is at risk of losing
their largest customer. Solertis helped to secure
this "single source" contract, and to implement procedures
and material handling equipment that supports a solid
30% increase in business.
