An efficient supply chain cuts operating costs. A distinctive Barloworld Logistics supply chain takes a holistic view and cuts costs, improves revenue and raises service levels. Focused on optimising either an organisation's individual logistics functions or its entire supply chain, Barloworld Logistics is known for radically improving income statement and key balance sheet ratios - in many one-of-a-kind ways.
Optimal supply chain solutions
Barloworld Logistics is one of the few companies with the full set of competencies required to analyse, design, implement and manage any element in the supply chain or to integrate them and manage the supply chain itself, while remaining asset-light. This is how we have used our expertise and market-leading skills in supply chain solutions to help many multinational companies to boost their efficiency and effectiveness by optimising their value chain networks.
At BMGI, we view Performance Excellence as a functional operating system that supports a variety of structured problem-solving methods. We help organisations internalise methodologies such as Lean Six Sigma to increase the capabilities of their people, and to clear the path for transforming strategic ideas into viable action plans. Through this, we deliver a total solution.
BMGI's approach is unique. Unlike management consulting firms that deliver giant binders of strategy recommendations and then walk away - or training companies that educate employees but have little interest in financial returns - BMGI helps companies define their strategies, train their employees and make improvements that positively affect the bottom line. Problem Solved!
