The Last 50 Metres Forum

Chairman: Jonathan Kittow MILT

Your Institute is introducing some changes, making us more open and relevant to you, whichever sector of logistics or transport you work in.

We are replacing the four Faculties with eight Professional Sectors. These Professional Sectors will provide specialist activity for a particular area of interest whilst continuing to offer opportunity and involvement across the profession.

What you need to do...

We are now asking all members to update their details and tell us which Professional Sectors and Forums they want to belong to as soon as possible. You can do this in a number of ways - online through ‘My Membership', complete the Member Selection form that you will shortly receive in Focus, or complete the form included on the Current Awareness Bulletin over the next few weeks.

Please note, you can now belong to as many Professional Sectors and Forums as you wish.

Should you wish to make your selections online, please remember that you will need to create your password to login if you have not already done so. A short guide to making your selection online is available here.

The Last 50 Metres Forum

This Forum was established to discuss the issues associated with the replenishment of retail stores. 'The Last 50 Metres' refers to getting store-delivered product from the vehicle to the shelves.

Objectives

  • To identify relevant case studies from different sectors (to go and see)
  • To understand the (whole) supply chain/value stream, focused on the last 50 metres
  • To capture and share knowledge
  • To act as a 'sounding board' to sense-check proposals and gain feedback from peers
  • To help develop the financial case for initiatives

To date the Forum has undertaken three site visits:

  • Boots, Nottingham
  • Rolls Royce, Derby
  • Sainsburys, Didcot

These visits have given the group the opportunity to explore some of the issues behind aligning a supply chain to meet the needs of the end customer. It is now planned to explore some of the key issues in more detail. In particular, the group will focus on space planning and its implications on packaging and in-store handling.
