OPTIMIZE YOUR WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS: GET THE RIGHT BALANCE OF OUTSOURCED AND
INHOUSE RESOURCES

Here are five questions that growing organizations should be asking themselves
as they work through the current supply chain challenges and begin to plan for
the future.

Supply chain disruptions, labor challenges, rising costs, economic volatility
and geopolitical crises are just some of the issues that continue to impact
businesses. While much of the uncertainty was set off by the global pandemic, it
has since escalated and grown to include nearly every facet of the business
world.

Internal logistics is no exception to the rule. The labor shortage is a
particularly big sticking point for advanced manufacturers, pharmaceutical
firms, healthcare organizations and other large entities that are trying to
balance fewer internal resources with high demand for their products and
services.

To find the right balance, more companies are turning to outside partners that
can provide the people, processes and technology to run a successful material
movement operation. This allows the company to focus on what it does
best—growing its business—while a reliable partner manages the organization’s
complex blend of operations, labor, workflow and automation.

“The level of complexity and specialization of the logistics operation and its
material movement solution have both grown significantly over the last decade,”
says Jeremy Wisdom, senior solutions consultant, warehouse management services
at Canon Business Process Services (Canon). “Companies realize that there are
significant costs associated with an in-house logistics operation, and that it’s
truly more of a ‘specialized service’ they may not want to continue to manage.”

The good news is that there are expert-level resources available to step in and
help. Here are five questions that will help you determine whether it’s time to
explore new options:


DO WE WANT TO RETAIN SOME LEVEL OF PHYSICAL ONSITE CONTROL OF THE LOGISTICS
PROCESS?

Some companies outsource their fulfillment and transportation to third-party
logistics providers (3PLs) while others may retain more control by using temp
staffing agencies to fill in as needed. A hospital or advanced manufacturing
plant that wants to keep its inventory onsite, for example, may turn to one or
more temp agencies as a first option when order volumes increase and there
aren’t enough hands on deck to manage the increased flow. Another organization
may offload the work to an offsite partner.

These decisions are important because handing control over to an offsite 3PL or
bringing in a revolving door of new employees may introduce an entirely new set
of problems. By working with a partner that offers onsite warehouse management
services, companies can achieve their labor, workflow and automation management
targets without relinquishing too much control to that third party. “Having a
partner onsite that is integrated with the company's vision,” says Wisdom, “and
that allows the company to maintain control over the result and the
outcome—ensuring that it aligns with the overall vision—is a critical
consideration for many organizations.”


IS OUR PRODUCT OR SERVICE COMPLEX ENOUGH TO WARRANT A DEDICATED PROVIDER?

In the modern world, logistics touches every aspect of a business’ operations.
Marketing departments have materials that need to be moved; IT departments are
always ordering new computers and devices; and repair departments need parts to
keep the machines running. With the exception of the very small operation with a
very low SKU count, any company that’s moving inventory, making products,
fulfilling orders and managing teams can benefit from working with a dedicated
provider.

“As organizations grow in complexity, increase their SKU counts, work with more
suppliers and manage rapidly-changing deadlines and requirements,” says James
Flora, solutions consultant, warehouse & distribution at Canon, “they should
really explore having a dedicated provider, that understands logistics and all
of the related equipment, technology, people and best practices and processes
that go into it.”


DO WE HAVE THE APPROPRIATE, EXPERIENCED SUPPORT RESOURCES ON OUR TEAM?

Most companies’ safety managers, subject matter experts (SMEs) and/or Six Sigma
Black Belts operate across multiple locations (if they have them at all). Their
time, which is valuable and vital to the organization’s success, is often spread
across these various, geographically-dispersed facilities, rendering them
inaccessible and ineffective when a problem occurs and their expertise is
needed. “These are typically corporate resources that span multiple facilities
and handle pivotal moments when a specialty discipline is needed,” says Flora.

As a result, it doesn't make sense for every company to invest in these support
resources. For example, a company with just one or two smaller warehouses may
not invest in a full-time safety manager. Some will hire a consultant at a
premium hourly rate, while others will partner with a company that maintains
extensive support resources in-house and provides them on an as-needed basis.
The key point is that you can gain access to these valuable resources when
needed, by teaming with a partner like Canon. This approach can be more cost
effective than hiring in-house staff, or paying premium fees to consultants.


ARE THERE HIDDEN COSTS IN OUR CURRENT MODEL?

High employee turnover, potential insurance risks and too many errors can all
eat away at a company’s bottom line profitability. In today’s market, these and
other hidden costs are beginning to come to the forefront for many warehouses,
where employee turnover can be as high as 50% in some cases. “Companies are
allocating a tremendous amount of resources to hiring and training,” says Joe
Tague, director, business applications at Canon. “Then the process repeats
itself when the employee leaves.”

Companies operating in constant “training mode” also experience higher error
rates, productivity issues and lower operational efficiency. These problems lead
to even more hidden costs, including the higher insurance prices that come into
play when temp employees can’t be trained fast enough to operate safely,
efficiently and consistently. “Unless companies can create a model that
stabilizes the workforce and these other variables,” says Tague, “they will have
to continue absorbing these hidden costs.”

other variables, they will have to continue absorbing hidden costs.” - Joe Tague


IS OUR BENEFITS, RECRUITING, AND TRAINING STRUCTURE POSITIONED TO SUPPORT THE
MANAGEMENT OF LOGISTICS PROFESSIONALS?

Advanced manufacturing, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, plus those with
large corporate campuses, are often hyper-focused on very complex products or
services that require intricate logistics and material movement. For optimal
results, these organizations’ benefits, recruiting, training, and management
structure must be designed to support those products and services.

A hospital may hire recruiters that specialize in the medical industry, for
example, but don’t have experience finding, recruiting and hiring logistics
professionals. “Some of the support resources tend to take a backseat and
perhaps rightfully so when you’re focused on making sure your hospital is
staffed with enough doctors and nurses,” Flora explains. “And for obvious
reasons, when logistics is structured as a secondary priority it can put all
material movement at risk.

That’s where a partner like Canon—with its own hyper-focus on internal
logistics, recruiting, training and support services—steps in to help. “You can
either be a Jack-of-all-trades or be hyper-focused on one industry-leading
product or service,” says Flora. “With the latter, the best option is to partner
with the right companies to fill in the complete puzzle.”


A GAME-CHANGER FOR A CHALLENGING MARKETPLACE

As supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, rising costs and other
uncertainties persist, companies can only be so reactive in the environment
they’re operating in. And while technology and automation can help companies
fill some of the voids left by the lack of available labor, smart organizations
are working with reliable managed services partners that allow them to maintain
control while also providing high levels of support.

Organizations that are hyper-focused on complex products and services have a
particularly high need for this type of support right now. With the help of a
partner that brings continuous improvement and lean initiatives to the table,
organizations can tackle their current challenges, prepare for emerging
roadblocks and plan for future success.

The longer a company waits to make this transformation in today’s volatile
business environment, the more unnecessary risks it may incur. Whether those
risks are related to insurance, errors or higher operational costs—or a
combination of all three—they can all significantly impact the organizational
bottom line. By allowing companies to focus on their core operations, and by
aligning with its customers’ visions, goals and missions, Canon implements the
best practices of logistics and material movement in a way that benefits the
entire organization.

This expands what the typical 3PL or temp agency can offer and provides an
onsite, tailored service with fully dedicated integration across all aspects of
a logistics operation, including people, processes and technology.

“Our model is different because we take the time to listen, get to know our
customers and come up with solutions to their specific needs,” says Flora. “We
know companies don’t want the cookie cutter approach, and that they need someone
who will listen and build custom solutions for them. This makes Canon’s service
a game-changer for the marketplace.”
