Warehouse improvement and facilities design for a manufacturer and distributor of food products

Abstract

African Dynamics is in the process of consolidating the Gauteng regional operations of the five facilities located in Gateway Industrial Park, Centurion, into a single facility in Sunderland Ridge, Centurion. The five existing facilities at Gateway Industrial Park have critical capacity issues and are experiencing numerous inefficiencies. African Dynamics needs to address these problems by consolidating operations of the five facilities into a single facility. The solution will be realised by analysing the current operations and subsequently evaluating the current operational requirements and constraints. Data will be gathered and manipulated. Based on these results, future operational requirements will be projected. In-depth research on best practices will performed, which will lead to the generation of alternate plans. The alternatives will be evaluated (with input from the company) and the best proposal will be selected: The final design will be handed to African Dynamics for implementation.
