Network redesign — restructured line-haul routes and depot catchment areas

A regional distribution operator was facing rising transport costs and uneven depot utilization. Historical network decisions had created overlapping catchment areas and inefficient line-haul routes. We mapped all freight flows, recalculated optimal depot catchments, and designed a new line-haul structure — without adding infrastructure or changing delivery commitments to customers.

−18% transport cost

The analysis revealed that three depot catchment areas were overlapping significantly, creating unnecessary cross-haul movements. By redrawing zone boundaries and adjusting the line-haul schedule, we eliminated redundant runs and reduced average haul distance by 14%. The redesign was implemented in two phases over 8 weeks — zero disruption to delivery service levels throughout.

Production line throughput — material flow optimization and shift logistics redesign

A manufacturing company was consistently operating a key production line at 70–75% of its installed capacity. The bottleneck was not the machine itself — it was the material supply and shift handover process. Through direct observation and time studies, we identified the root causes and redesigned both the material flow and shift structure.

The key finding was a 12-minute dead zone at each shift handover — material wasn't pre-staged and the incoming shift needed time to orient. Combined with a suboptimal material delivery sequence, this was costing roughly 90 minutes of productive time per day. We redesigned the material staging process, adjusted the handover protocol, and introduced a simple daily production board. No capital investment — structural change only.

Urban courier network — capacity management and zone optimization

A city delivery operator was experiencing rising operating costs despite stable parcel volumes. The delivery zones had been defined historically and no longer reflected actual delivery density patterns. Some couriers were consistently overloaded while others had slack. We redesigned the zone structure, rebalanced courier assignments, and introduced capacity management tools.

−15% operating cost
More detail

Analysis of delivery data by postcode revealed significant density variance across zones — some zones had 2× the stop density of others but the same courier allocation. We redesigned 18 delivery zones, introduced a dynamic capacity model, and built a simple daily planning tool used by dispatchers. The rebalancing alone recovered 15% of operating cost. Fleet size and headcount were unchanged.
