PROJECTS

These projects show the many benefits of using our consultancy services, based on case studies with large companies. We believe that data analysis helps identify opportunities for increasing efficiency, leading to healthier profit margins.

Construction and building

Project Brief:

MyLogix was asked to identify inefficiencies in fleet vehicle use.

Project Outcome:

We provided important solutions and training on best practice in terms of driver management, fuel management, maintenance management, and vehicle replacement.

The client enjoyed reduced fleet costs and effective systems for monthly cost reporting, allowing the business to manage fleet costs in annuity.

FMCG Food

Project Brief:

MyLogix were appointed to determine ideal warehouse position and suggest optimal warehouse layout. We also looked at ways to combine the logistics of different subsidiary companies in the group to optimize distribution efficiency.

Project Outcome:

MyLogix developed a logistics solution for Namibia. MyLogix was eventually appointed to sit in Executive meetings to challenge various decision-making processes within Logistics, Marketing, and Sales Efficiencies.

FMCG Cold Chain

Project Brief:

Our FMCG cold chain client owns a full supply chain starting with raw material, and including manufacturing, distribution, and sales.

MyLogix was appointed to analyse the efficiency of the entire fleet and supply chain. This included making improvements in fuel use, maintenance, and vehicle replacement. We conducted a full route profitability assessment across the country. This data gathering helped the company identify inefficient distribution practises. Furthermore, we audited sales representatives to understand where profitability could be improved.

Project Outcome:

This was a very successful project with several benefits to the client:

They enjoyed significant cost savings
Implemented an effective replacement policy
Allocated the correct vehicle for each function
Determined clear regional sales targets for higher profitability per region
Restructured sales team renumeration to ensure that team followed through on the strategy

FMCG Retail

Project Brief:

This client is a large retailer operating in South Africa and neighbouring countries. Key products include cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and general appliances.

The retailer had one product that required 30% capacity but contributed less than 1% to the gross profit. Initially, we needed to extract this product from the in-house supply chain while ensuring the product service delivery was still intact.

Secondly Mylogix was asked to extract costs out of primary transport. A large percentage of costs were removed from the supply chain resulting in a long-term contract with the customer.

The third project was to evaluate the cost efficiency of distribution in the neighbouring countries.

Project Outcome:

The business enjoyed immediate cost savings. They also had a sustainable solution to extract and minimize low margin, high volume products going through the in-house supply chain. Low margin, high volume products were set up for direct distribution, further increasing profits.

Agricultural

Project Brief:

Our agricultural client approached MyLogix with concerns about severe profit losses they were experiencing. They needed to discover the origins of those losses. MyLogix was therefore appointed to consult on production processes.

Project Outcome:

Our evaluation of the major costs and processes helped us identify several opportunities to reduce spending and increase profit margins. These recommendations included training in best practices, which the company implemented. Consequently, the company enjoyed a 30% reduction in losses in the following financial year.

FMCG Food and Beverages

Project Brief:

This was a follow-up project with a previous client. We needed to extract transport costs.

We achieved this with the following processes:

Consolidating subsidiaries under one holding company
Implementing key performance indicators
Cost reduction activities
Implementing correct vehicle type applications

Project Outcome:

Our advisory involvement was key to evaluate export processes and eliminate excessive demurrage and materials handling costs. 95% of these costs were removed and saved over a period of 20-25 months.
