| Why Consolidation Centres?
Greater integration of Supply Logistics and Site Logistics
prevents the endless problems caused by fragmented supply chains
– Missing or weak links in processes and communications are more
easily identified, and a more proactive and cooperative
logistics management develops.
Incorporating Consolidation Centre methodology further
amplifies the scope and scale of potential benefits, the true
value of which are as immeasurable as the ‘waste costs’ they
replace. Traditionally construction supply chains are poorly
controlled, and in reviewing the full scope of activity, it is
evident that disorder intensifies as the chain gets closer to
site. The concept and purpose of a Consolidation Centre (CC) may
appear new, but is in fact fundamentally parallel to that of
Regional Distribution Centres. Munnelly Support Services in
partnership with CSB Logistics is able to offer a range of
services associated with consolidation centres
