Let’s Talk About What we do at Boots – Our Operation • Where we were • Our requirements • Yard Smart – the solution • Yard Smart – the benefits • Burton • Initial concerns • Future Vision
Our Operation • Supply Chain Review • Beeston Site • Burton Site • Regional CDC Network
Where were we? • YMS Experience • STS database • Manual process – relied on operators to drive efficiency • Warehouse driven requests • System instability • System Development not possible • Security – User access levels too broad • Inaccessible MI
Our Requirements • Manage a 350 Acre site with 18 on site locations • Manage large number of movements • Regional CDC / off site locations (Webgate) • Push trailers onto the warehouses • Manage the Outbound plan more effectively • Ability to upgrade / develop / integrate the system • Reduce operator headcount • More dynamic “thinking” system • Driver Efficiency • Useable MI • Stable Environment
The Solution - Yard Smart • Manage a 350 Acre site with 18 on site locations • Manage large number of movements • Regional CDC / off site locations (Webgate) • Push trailers onto the warehouses X Manage the Outbound plan more effectively • Ability to upgrade / develop / integrate the system • Reduce operator headcount • More dynamic “thinking” system • Driver Efficiency • Useable MI • Stable Environment
Yard Smart – The Benefits • Provides us with: • Zone shunters into areas • Automated delivery onto bay • Driver Performance Management • Distance Optimisation • Release operator time for other tasks • Improved gate processing • Shipping Runs • Team Development • COLLABORATION !
Initial Concerns • User access levels • C3 Support / Availability • Year 1 problematic • Complicated infrastructure • Overall development costs – User Group • Internal cultural / process changes
