Making better use of human capital

Leading companies rely on people management to improve performance and meet challenges of today and the future.

The logistics organisations in the consumer goods industry are faced with the necessity to operate more divers supply chains that are increasingly of higher complexity and sophistication. As supply chains are becoming more customer specific they also become less static. They evolve and change in line with the customer segment they serve. This results in the requirement for far more flexibility in the logistics infrastructure, namely the DC's in terms of handling capacity and processes.

The study concentrates on the use and success of incentive systems as well as on continuous improvement programs. Therefore the study surveys

  • the experience already available today in the industry relating to methods of a more efficient assignment of labour and
  • educe from those experiences a model for the optimal application of these methods.

In total 62 companies operating a total of 450 DC's from Germany, Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom participated in the survey.
