​

Intent helped Dimond to attain a clear understanding of its freight overheads, enhance its freight recovery process, and improve management processes for nationwide distribution, following a review of its freight operations. Process mapping and solution exploration activities were applied to develop capability and help the team identify improvement opportunities.

​

THE RESULTS:

Intent Group’s significant supply chain knowledge and expertise helped Dimond to implement improvements and achieve some significant business results:

• A review of supplier contracts and relationships recognised potential savings of $411,000

• Identification of a more suitable distribution model which was better suited to the nature of the company’s ‘make to order’ products and time-sensitive requests by customers

• A reduction of managerial and administrative requirements

• A decrease in the total number of carriers used across the distribution network

• Provision of basic supply and freight training across the distribution network to up skill all team members;

• Development of business processes and procedures to better support distribution and supply chain management along with decision making
