HOUSE of Fraser plan rationalise its storage, hand and distribution arrangem for larger items of merchan over the next two to three y
A study by distribution nagement consultant PW Inte tional has examined 21 depl merit stores and 18 sepal warehouses within the grol including Harrods, D. H. EVE Army and Navy Stores, Ch mans and Wylie and Co.
Over the years the stores h developed separate warehc ing facilities and back-up livery fleets within each of individual store groups — area where rationalisation planned.
A strategy recommended PW is that of shared resour involving the development of gional distribution centres s( ing groups of stores in a parti lar area, but not related to individual trading group.
These centres will reduce existing number of warehou from 18 to three and will rece goods, store them and deli them direct to custome homes.
A 20-30 per cent saving operating costs is planned.
