2011 Zebra Technologies EMEA, Heerenveen implemented an Oracle WMS system about half a year ago and now decided it was time to get some optimization done. A detailed review of warehousing activities and data pointed out that there were important improvements to be made in the fields of replenishment, allocation of product to forward picking zones, consolidation of product locations et cetera. Based on the findings, Zebra was able to take measures and adjust Oracle rules in such a way that warehouse productivities were greatly improved.Principal: Zebra Technologies EMEA / Heerenveen, the Netherlands (Groenewout)
2011 After Heerenveen (2010 Project), Zebra will be going live with its Oracle WMS system in Vernon Hills, Chicago as well. Groenewout was asked to assess warehousing activities and to make recommendations on improvements to go along with the WMS implementation. Hurdles: Utilization of a building that was never meant to be a warehouse, with occupation rates of more than 100% and without any Slot planning whatsoever. Recommendations concern: Slot planning, house-keeping, introduction of discrete and clustered order picking, new lay-out of the processing zone and removal of surplus stock.

2011 Originated in Germany, Logwin is a worldwide freight forwarder. Together with Professor Andreas Otto they do periodical brainstorms to determine and align their courses of action. This time a workshop was held with 40 controllers from all worldwide locations. Objective was to identify ideas for corporate improvements that can be triggered and or supported by the financial department. It took quite some facilitation to generate “out of the box” discussions and ideas. Conclusion of the day: controllers do more than fact keeping and it is necessary to maintain good relations with Business Departments and to exchange views and opportunities.

2010 SK Pharma is a state-owned procurer of pharmaceutical products that will be insourcing distribution activities during 2011. Currently warehousing and transportation is outsourced to the three main Pharma-distributors in Kazakhstan. SK Pharma needed a Distribution Business Plan for the first 10 years. Groenewout assessed current distribution operations and identified major trends and developments in order to concept a number of scenarios. With the help of the CAST distribution modeling software, selected scenarios have been evaluated after which conceptual design of required warehousing facilities was completed.

2010 Groenewout has conducted many network design studies to optimize distribution systems for its customers. Some of these studies focused on harvesting synergies with merging distribution activities from multiple divisions or companies. Until now, it was recommended to split mutual benefits by the Parties based on their cost proportions. This didn’t always satisfy the parties, after which they were left to negotiate it further.
By integrating “Cooperative Gameplay” heuristics into its modeling, Groenewout now offers additional methods to allocate mutual savings to the participants.

2003 Analysis and implementation of a new “inventory model” for coin processing. The Central Bank of the Netherlands has been liberalising the market for coin processing and closed down 14 agencies for cash distribution. Because of this, the client was challenged to adapt new roles in the supply chain of coin. Central “portfolio” management of coin inventory positions of several client banks, not only relieved client bank’s of these tasks but was an ideal basis to rationalize overall coin stock needed for recycling operations. The value of this stock was reduced with more than 60 percent.
