ABOUT THIS EVENT
Peak periods expose the strengths and weaknesses of a retail supply chain. As order volumes, SKU complexity and customer expectations rise, retailers need more than extra labour or last-minute firefighting.
This webinar brings together experienced retail and logistics leaders to explore how intralogistics, warehouse processes and operational discipline can work together to deliver a reliable peak. We will discuss practical approaches to demand and capacity planning, inventory positioning, slotting, labour and shift planning, flow optimisation, automation and real-time performance management.
The session will focus on actions that can be taken before the next peak, whether you operate a manual facility, a highly automated distribution centre, an omnichannel network or a 3PL model. Attendees will leave with a practical peak-readiness checklist and ideas for improving service, productivity and resilience without defaulting to major capital investment.
