Case Studies

WBS had just finished a project which added a 16,500 pallet warehouse to the existing site and which completely refurbished 70% of the existing warehouses on the site.

WBS were already managing a large building programme to extend one of the client’s distribution centres and as a result also worked with the client to change the operational model and product flow to ensure successful integration of two new warehouses on the site.

A building project had already been started without the necessary project management rigour and controls and WBS were asked first to bring the actual building work under control and secondly to implement a complete pallet racking and operational infrastructure.

This client manufactures one of the UK’s best-known brands of domestic heating. Following a review of manufacturing operations, it was decided improvements could not be made without a move to a new, smaller site.

This long established English pet food manufacturer had asked WBS to conduct a planning and operational assessment to identify areas for cost savings. One recommendation from the assessment was to reduce the changeover time on three packaging machines using the SMED methodology.
