Only the big ones benefit from outsourcing? Olli Nieminen on October 1, 2015 Proper staffing is something that preoccupies large, small and medium-sized warehouse operators alike. The challenge is familiar to everyone: as volumes fluctuate rapidly, sometimes there are too many staff, sometimes too little. In quiet times, there is not enough work for everyone, in times of urgency, work is thrown to extremes and overtime hours accumulate. Promises made to customers are kept in any situation, it is a matter of honor. Is keeping staff on your company’s lists always the best solution? "Often in smaller warehouses, the company's logistics are thought to be so small that it is not possible to make them more efficient or the savings from them are so small that they are not tempted to investigate the matter further," says Development Manager Olli Nieminen. In her work, Nieminen is responsible for the system and process development of internal logistics. Nieminen's solution to resource challenges is the transfer of personnel to a person specializing in human resource management. In the equation, when fixed costs become variable, significant savings can be achieved. "If the efficiency potential of your own warehouse is busy, then you should feel free to contact us and ask for a professional's assessment. I do these myself constantly, and there are almost invariably to be improved , " Nieminen urges. The efficient use of resources may be limited for many reasons. Sometimes inflexibility is due to a staffing structure that does not adapt to workload fluctuations, and sometimes it is the case that systems do not support operations optimally - for example, the predictability of workloads is so poor that resource optimization is not possible. Parhaisiin tuloksiin päästään silloin, kun kaikki keinot otetaan käyttöön ja asiaa tarkastellaan kokonaisvaltaisesti. Erikoistuneilla palveluntarjoajilla on takanaan usein järjestelmäosaamista johon pienellä yrityksellä ei ole mahdollisuutta. Oikein rakennettu yhteistyömalli joustaa ja kestää ajan hammasta Ulkoistamiseen voi liittyä vahvoja ennakkoluuloja, jotka voivat johtua siitä, että jonkinlaista mallia on kokeiltu ja se on epäonnistunut tavalla tai toisella. Samalla saatetaan pelätä esimerkiksi mahdollista hintojen kiristymistä toiminnan lähdettyä käyntiin tai sitä, että palveluntarjoaja ei ole valmis sitoutumaan tarpeeksi toiminnan laatuun. Luotettava palveluntarjoaja kykenee aina toimimaan laadukkaasti ja seisomaan antamansa hinnan takana. Ulkoistamisesta hyötyy myös henkilöstö Ison palveluntarjoajan etuna on sen mahdollisuus työllistää henkilöstöä muihin toimipisteisiin, jos resurssia ei kyseisessä yksikössä tarvita. Niemisen mukaan ulkoistetun yksikön henkilöstö kokee myös usein työskentelyn ison palveluntarjoajan palkkalistoilla mielekkääksi, koska isommassa yrityksessä on paremmat mahdollisuudet kouluttautua sekä kehittyä ammatillisesti ja näin edetä urallaan. Mielekkyyttä tuo myös työskentely useammassa eri ympäristössä. Tällöin kyseessä on win-win-tilanne, kun kaikki hyötyvät. The answer to the title of the story then is: no. Small and medium-sized organizations also benefit from outsourcing, the benefits are produced only by a different logic than the economies of scale of large organizations. The question that an organization considering outsourcing should consider carefully is exactly what you want to outsource and seek out sparring and perspectives from actors who specialize in this particular field.
