Optimising you Supply Chain is not just about making the staff work more efficiently. Such things as where your distribution centres are located relative to transport infrastructure, the number and inventory levels of each distribution centres relative to your suppliers and customers and efficient layout and operating methodology all play an important factor when developing an efficient cost effective supply chain.
The number of warehouse required in your network will vary according to the level of service you are seeking to deliver, the range pf product which you choose to carry and of course the level of inventory you need to carry in stock. The trade of will be between rental costs (country and regional centres are less expensive than capital cities etc), labour costs (again capital city costs tend to be higher compared to regional costs) and finally the cost of transporting goods around the country. The transport costs are heavily influenced by the level of service – e.g. cost of airfreight to Perth compared to standard road haulage – but what is the impact on inventory levels and therefore warehouse size in Perth?
