Cornerstone Solutions' Strategic Services can help you develop and execute a successful game plan for your operation. We have the expertise to help you optimize your operations in ways that will significantly improve customer service and reduce distribution costs.

Is your facility laid out optimally? Are you taking advantage of best practice processes? Can a warehouse management system be justified in your facility, or are you utilizing your current WMS optimally? Our Strategic Services were designed with these questions in mind.

Through our structured methodology, we assess your entire supply chain network, inside your warehouse and beyond as it relates to your customers, suppliers and manufacturing facilities. We then help you eliminate uncovered bottlenecks through process improvement, application configurations and facility layout changes.

Our Strategic Services include:

Whether you're looking for quick ideas for immediate efficiency gains, or a long term plan for improvement, we can prioritize opportunities for improvement and create a customized plan to fit your needs.

Logistics Strategic Planning

Cornerstone can help you take a look at your overall business and Supply Chain Network. Do you currently have manufacturing operations located in the United States, but are considering outsourcing that part of your business overseas leaving you with distribution services in the US? Is your business growing faster than you can keep up with? Are you having problems with suppliers?

Cornerstone can help you address these issues and formulate a plan to ensure that your business is well positioned into the future.

Facility Planning and Layout

Have you outgrown your current facility? Or perhaps your current facility no longer serves your needs since your business has changed. Cornerstone can help you examine your current facility, determine the needs that your business changes have or will bring about , and then help you determine what your facility(ies) need to look like in the future. Perhaps you have one facility today servicing the US out of the West Coast, but it makes sense for you to go to a multi-facility infrastructure. Maybe you currently have multiple facilities and it makes sense to consolidate some of them. Whatever your situation, Cornerstone can help you analyze it, develop a plan, and execute upon that plan.

Operational Assessments

How efficient is your existing facility? Have you found bottlenecks? Maybe you are out of space. Cornerstone can assess your existing facility and help you maximize your space. New buildings and moves are expensive, so you want to make sure that you get the most out of your existing facility as possible!

Distribution Network Design

With transportation costs skyrocketing over the past few years, it is crucial to proactively manage these expenses. Is your business in the process of transforming from a domestic manufacturer to an importer/distributor? Has your “source point” changed as a result? Cornerstone can work with your team to optimize your Supply Chain for your current and future needs.

IT Infrastructure Evaluation/Roadmap Analysis

Cornerstone works with companies to ensure that their technology infrastructure is positioned to support the goals and direction of the business. There are many different choices when it comes to technology, and many variables that affect which choice is right for your business. A solid and stable IT infrastructure is one of the foundations of a successful, profitable business.

Independent Software Analysis

Are you considering replacing your existing software, or purchasing a new, complementary package? Cornerstone’s years of experience can help you to determine if a particular type of software package makes sense, and if so, which specific package is the best for your business. There are a lot of choices in the market today. Making the right choice can ensure that you get the most out of your investment.
