Logistics consulting is free!

In 1979 Philip Crosby published his seminal book Quality is Free to break the perception in America at the time that adding quality to manufactured goods was a costly and unnecessary expense. Crosby helped to redefine what quality meant and helped to launch the revolution in quality management that is now an accepted part of almost every aspect of business operations now.

Former CEO of Avis, Robert Townsend said that a business consultant was someone who borrows your watch and tells you what time it is and then walks
off with your watch!  Certainly there are enough stories around about the negative impacts and poor results of consultants that may lead you to believe that they are an expensive waste of time.  This is not always the case and indeed there are many consulting organisations that provide substantial value to their clients, helping them through major change programs to ongoing success.

At Logistics Help we pride ourselves on adding value to to our clients and helping them to lasting success.  Logistics and supply chain projects are by their very nature practical investments in developing business capability, improving service and reducing cost.  Just like investing in a new machine for a factory that produces cheaper widgets, an investment in your supply chain will earn you money and help you stay competitive.  

Ultimately the return on investment in Logistics Help consulting makes it free.    Just ask Cell Bikes who were liberated with a new warehouse design and improved processes to triple their sales within seven months. 

We are invested in the success of our clients as we view this as the only way to have a successful business ourselves.  Our flexibility to work with you to share the project work or do it all, means that we can help you get the result you need within your budget.  Either way you still get the same experienced advice, support and dedication to your success.

My intention with this blog is to share with you what we know and what we are learning on our journey through the ever changing and complex world that supply chain has become. I hope to see you around at a trade show or conference somewhere and I hope you enjoy the ride as I know we all will.
