Last month (20th October 2011), LCP Consulting and John Lewis Partnership won the CILT (UK) Award for Excellence in Materials Handling Equipment and Technology. The award recognised the 850,000 sq.ft semi-automated NDC, based in Milton Keynes, for its use of technology and the resulting operational improvements.
In 2004, John Lewis’s distribution team decided a strategic review of their network and distribution development options was required. It selected supply chain and logistics consultancy, LCP Consulting, to work with them on the strategic review. LCP then developed the volumetrics and material flows and prepared the design for the NDC that was put out to tender. The consultancy also fully supported John Lewis in the tender and implementation process.
DWP has already secured in-depth profile pieces on LCP’s work in key retail titles, Retail Technology and Retail Week.
