  Woodlog consultancy

  Jan 2018 - now

  Founder & managing consultant / interim expert

  Woodlog Consultancy is an experienced and independent expert in the logistics environment. In Europe, Americas, Asia and further. We have a strategic mindset for innovation and translate complexity into simplified warehousing and transport products and services. We do a quick first analysis and use the EDAP methodology to design sustainable solutions that simply work. We also advise, manage and implement on in- or outsourcing of your key supply chain activities.With a background of many years in operations and business development at transport and logistics companies at senior management level we have learned what is important and especially what is not in managing supply chains. Saying ‘yes’ to e.g. outsourced services without really understanding what they deliver to you and your customers results many times in reduced quality, high costs, sub-optimal growth and worst…unhappy customers. This requires insight and focus what is really important to you. Woodlog Consultancy visualizes this focus through smart solutions, preferably on a one page overview.We work together with other professionals where projects ask for experienced people with profound knowledge and expertise of logistics. Either on project or interim basis. Show less
