Al Zahrani Trading Enlists SNS to Design Warehousing Network and Model Warehouse Based on Best-Practices Analysis
The design, implementation and control of a multi-warehouse network is complex and detail-intensive. The effective movement of goods and services is of particular concern to Al Zahrani Trading, a subsidiary of Alzahrani Holding – a multi-company organization with complex operations over most of Saudia Arabia.
Beirut, Lebanon, May 26, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Al Zahrani Trading already operates various warehouses—holding over 8,000 electrical and home appliance products—in the region, and they are developing an ambitious business expansion plan. That ambitious plan is reflected in their goal of building a model warehouse that exemplifies the most sophisticated physical designs and operational practices for any industry.
But before they opened any new facilities, they wanted a top-down review of their warehouse operations so they know precisely how many new locations they needed, where to locate them, and what size they need to be. Besides those high-level concerns, Al Zahrani Trading wanted a full assessment of warehouse building design, and goods and operations flow in order to make sure that all new operations run at peak efficiencies. For that, they turned to SNS.
SNS has broad expertise in both warehouse design and optimal warehouse operations. The company will approach the Al Zahrani Trading contract as a two-fold task: first, determine the proper number and configuration of new warehouse locations, and then design a warehouse that fulfills this ideal: a building customized to Al Zahrani Trading needs that is founded on state-of-the art physical and operational practices. That design, intended to be the prime model for Al Zahrani Trading systems to come, would cover these areas:
· The layout of the warehouse (storage zones, aisles, staging area and other auxiliary areas)
· The different type of racking systems
· The number of warehouse dock doors
· The required machinery and equipment
· A high-level goods and operations flow
“We’re pleased to work with Al Zahrani Trading in this systems redesign,” said Wael Mabsout, Senior Consultant at SNS. “These rigorous, top-to-bottom assessments always deliver implementable results that greatly boost an organization’s processes and their bottom line.”
Al Zahrani Trading is expanding to new locations within Saudi Arabia to meet customer demand, with the intention of offering the most competitive prices, while minimizing their costs. Those charges include warehousing costs, operational costs and transport costs. SNS will carefully examine Al Zahrani Trading’s existing processes with that consideration at the forefront, and with an eye to improving:
Operational speed
Streamlining labor operations
Ensuring safety compliance
Reducing paperwork
Modernizing inventory systems
“We anticipate strong results from the SNS analysis and design,” said Abdul Latif Misfer Al Zahrani Trading, CEO of Hassan Misfer Al Zahrani & Partners Holding. “We look forward to better serving our customers by maintaining the maximum efficiencies of our operations.”
