Materials and goods delivered at the right time at minimal labor expenditure is a logistic challenge which is often neglected.
FF&E should not equal roaming bulk goods. FF&E require a quantification and localisation within the construction planning stage. Storage areas, means of transportation, and a defined handling system should be in place in accordance with the features of the respective equipment.
Even norms, such as the so called “Gastro-Norm”, do not prevent any producer from manufacturing to different dimensions nor any supplier from preferring specific measures and producers. Hence, there are no consistent specifics leading to a “nutshell effect” which makes it hard to find compatible equipment.
Most of all, it’s hard to fulfil the high expectations of a property opening should there be a lack of necessary tools, such as crockery and silverware or other service devices. For inventory, there is often only a short timeframe in which employees must orientate themselves. A stressful situation characterized by individually unwrapping and checking items, such as silverware or crockery, and the search for the appropriate storage room, involves manpower, thereby hindering the staff from their normal duties.
In order to prevent such critical situations, bbg-CONSULTING offers in connection with the merchandising layout, a proven inventory-logistics-plan that ranges from the specification of each item to tendering, sampling, coordination of deliveries, approval, and designated placement.
