Foxs’ Biscuits Case Note

Over the years Fox’s Biscuits has seen more and more need for storing goods off site, away from its main warehouse facilities. In the past this has been a particular problem only during peak periods but, with growth in the business, last year saw outside storage requirements in nearly every week. These high levels of outside storage were causing inefficiencies as well as unacceptably high costs and the Company saw that the answer was to find ways of increasing capacity at its main site. In order to do this it sought outside advice and asked THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS to help understand the problems and come up with recommendations for minimising the need for off site storage.
