Classic Hub
Re-engineering regional logistics nodes and warehouse inventory velocity for high-throughput supply chains.
Comprehensive strategic engagement addressing critical operational and product challenges for Classic Hub.
EXECUTIVE BRIEF
Classic Hub is a strategic regional logistics and distribution infrastructure enterprise managing multi-client warehousing, inventory staging, and express dispatch operations across North India. Rapid expansion in client volumes prompted a comprehensive operational audit to eradicate bottlenecking at primary fulfillment hubs.
Conducted end-to-end supply chain routing and regional warehousing capacity assessment for Classic Hub. Built fulfillment time simulations and hub-and-spoke inventory allocation models to eliminate transit delays.
Operational efficiency roadmap and regional distribution center blueprint that modeled a 19% reduction in turnaround time and optimized warehouse space utilization.
THE STRATEGIC CHALLENGE & BOTTLENECKS
Prior to engagement, Classic Hub encountered complex market friction across user adoption, operational workflow alignment, and competitive positioning. Our squad conducted root-cause modeling to isolate the core variables impeding scale.
Friction Factor 1
Uneven warehouse space allocation with slow-moving inventory occupying high-access dispatch bays.
Friction Factor 2
Cross-docking delays during peak morning loading windows resulting in downstream transit variance.
Friction Factor 3
Lack of dynamic demand-forecasting tools for fleet scheduling and labor allocation.
FOUR-PHASE STRATEGIC METHODOLOGY
Warehouse Flow & Space Utilization Diagnostic
Conducted spatial time-motion studies mapping picking routes, bay congestion, and forklift travel distances inside the primary distribution center.
- Audit of 45,000 sq ft warehouse floor plan
- Analysis of 800+ active SKU retrieval frequencies
- Inbound unloading and staging bottleneck mapping
Fleet Dispatch & Routing Simulation
Analyzed historical dispatch logs across 4 regional transport corridors to identify recurring transit choke points and dock turnaround delays.
- Transit time variance analysis across 1,200 deliveries
- Fleet driver turnaround interviews
- Loading dock dwell time quantification
Slotting Optimization & Layout Re-engineering
Engineered an optimized warehouse layout placing high-velocity SKUs closest to loading bays while optimizing pallet racking density.
- ABC slotting optimization modeling
- Cross-docking staging area redesign
- Pick-path travel distance reduction simulation
Executive Logistics Transformation Roadmap
Delivered an actionable operational overhaul deck with labor scheduling recommendations and KPI tracking dashboards.
- Executive presentation delivered to Classic Hub leadership
- Implementation schedule for floor layout transition
- Warehouse KPI scorecard formulation
