Looking at leveraging fast-food warehouse operations in a best-case scenario

When a regional, West Coast fast-food restaurant wanted to collapse two of its warehouses into a newly built facility in Chino, California, it faced the challenge of streamlining operations. Project management and governance, implementing best practices, and enabling the necessary IT capabilities were just a few of the issues that arose.

The chain also wanted to implement Körber’s Warehouse Advantage warehouse management system (WMS) in the new facility since it was familiar with the system, which was operating in two additional locations. More support was needed, however, to make this a reality.

“Every project that we get is different. That said, over the past 22 some years we’ve been doing this, we have recognized it’s really important to have a methodology and ensure when we take on these projects, there is a method to the process and all the I’s are doting and the T’s crossed.”

Enter enVista. The end-to-end supply chain consulting firm has a long history of working with Körber, along with many other solutions providers, and seemed a good fit to see the project through to completion. enVista would provide testing, documentation, go-live support and overall product management.

“Every project that we get is different,” explained Amit Kirpalani, vice president of supply chain solutions at enVista. “That said, over the past 22 some years we’ve been doing this, we have recognized it’s really important to have a methodology and ensure when we take on these projects, there is a method to the process and all the I’s are doting and the T’s crossed.”
