Problem Statement Develop a mine layout that has improved flow and sufficient parking capacity while adhering to safety and environmental constraints; Improve congestion and safety by separating movement […]
Underground Workshop Analysis & Design
Project: Analysis, design and review of an underground workshop solution that accommodates future growth using best practice design principles & simulation modelling techniques Result: Strategic Underground Workshop Design. 1. Problem Statement Fourier-E was requested to assist with an underground workshop design, taking into consideration current site layout and functions alongside future state specifications and requirements; […]
Warehouse and Inventory
Project: Design of a FMGC warehouse (size, layout, resources, MHE) Result: A warehouse design that includes: layout, resource requirement , MHE requirement, bin layout and flow requirements. 1. Problem Statement The client is consolidating multiple facilities into a single facilities, the impact thereof needs to be analysed with focus on: Space requirement per SKU (inside […]
Cash Centre Resource Requirement Analysis
Project: Develop a simulation model that indicates the best configuration of shift patterns and resources in a cash centre required to achieve a desired turn-around time Result: The best resource configuration and shift patterns for various cash centres (including busy and average months). Delivery of a simulation model representing current cash centre operations. The model […]
Cash Supply Chain Visibility
Project: Cash Supply Chain Visibility and Capacity Analysis Result: A visual tool to analyse the current cash supply chain, identify inefficiencies and identify cost saving opportunities. 1. Problem Statement The cash supply chain is managed independently by the various stakeholders, this creates a lack of visibility and multiple inefficiencies which includes: Surplus /shortage of sorting […]
Combining CIT Service Types
Project: Develop a logistic model to reduce transportation costs Result: A logistic model to service all types of entities in the cash supply chain by using the same dedicated vehicles. 1. Problem Statement Individual vehicles are used to service Branches, ATMs and Retail Customers, this leads to inefficient vehicle movement as multiple vehicles stop at […]
Collaborative Supply Chain Planning
Project: Collaborative Supply Chain Planning Result: A collaborative approach to determine supply chain demand and reduce inventory. 1. Problem Statement The functions of the current cash supply chain operates as silos, this results in increased supply chain costs; In order to improve the supply chain and reduce costs, demand planning and forecasting accuracy needs to […]
Network Optimization
Project: Simulation-Based Supply Chain Optimisation Result: An optimized international supply chain and consolidated warehouse requirements. 1. Problem Statement The client is looking for sustainable cost benefits from determining the most efficient means of sourcing, storing and moving goods and supplies to the point of demand while maintaining a desired service level and to quantify the […]
