Gordon MacTighe, 36, joined Purbright from O’Hara’s Steels at Stafford, where he had been Warehouse Manager. This was a promotion, because he was taking the role of Supply Chain  Manager at Purbright.
戈登MacTighe,36歲, 他就一直是倉庫經理，從斯塔福德郡的奧哈拉鋼材公司加入了Purbright,。這是一個提升,因為他正在扮演著Purbright供應鏈經理的角色。

Purbright was something of an old fashioned firm, producing a range of products in fireclay, earthenware, concrete and terra cotta, which were sold directly to wholesale, retail and industrial customers throughout the Midlands, the North West of England and North Wales. The firm’s best selling product group was a range of Terra cotta decorative bricks sold under the trade name of “Croft Adamant”. Sales of this product represented 39% of total turnover in 2009.
Purbright有點像一個老式的公司,生產一系列產品在耐火土,陶器,混凝土和兵馬俑,它是直接賣給批發、零售和工業客戶整個中部,北西英格蘭和威爾士北部。該公司最暢銷的產品集團是一個范圍的赤褐色的裝飾磚已經賣給貿易名稱的“Croft Adamant”。這種產品的銷售代表在2009年總營業額的39%。

The firm had a major storehouse attached to its factory in Walsall. From there, goods were sent either directly to the customer, if the customer was Midlands based, or to one of three warehousing points to service other key areas in the supply  chain. The Three sub-stores were located at Shrewsbury, Stoke-on-Trent and Warrington.
該公司有一個大倉庫附加到其工廠在沃爾薩爾。從那里,貨物被發送或直接給客戶,如果客戶是基于中部地區,或三個倉庫指向服務其他關鍵領域的供應鏈。這三個子商店坐落在什魯斯伯里,特倫特河畔斯托克和沃靈頓。

Each of the stores had a sales office, and for accounting purposes, each sub-stores was treated as a profit/cost centre in its own right, the same as Walsall, even though manufacturing was carried out only at headquarters. The number of stock lines was kept lower in the three sub-stores, because delivery of the less popular lines could be expedited from Walsall relatively quickly, using Purbrights’s own fleet. 每個商店都有銷售辦事處，并就會計目的而言，每個子店被視為自己的權利，同樣的沃爾索爾利潤/成本中心，即使制造只在總部進行。股票行數保持在三個子店低，因為交付的熱門線路少，可以加快從沃爾索爾比較快，使用Purbrights的自己的車隊。

The three sub-depots had considerably fewer customers serving their geographical areas than did Walsall.
這三個子倉庫已比沃爾薩爾大大減少客戶服務的地理區域。#p#分頁標題#e#

Purbright had had difficulty in maintaining its market share, but the firm was confident of improvements in growth and customer spread because of various marketing initiatives it was about to take. The Managing Director, Basil Bold, saw no reason to alter the depot structure at that time, until the results of the marketing campaign had been assessed.
Purbright遇到了困難，在保持其市場份額，但該公司有信心改善增長和客戶的傳播，因為它是即將采取的各種營銷舉措。董事總經理，羅勒大膽，看到沒有理由去改變當時車廠結構，直到已評估營銷活動的結果。

However, he did want an assessment of the  overall supply chain performance in both the works and depot operations. He suggested to MacTighe that his two major objectives would be to achieve maximum cost-efficiency and secure an improvement in the order turn-around time. Below are details of the depots performance:-
然而，他想要的作品和堆場業務的整體供應鏈績效評估。他建議MacTighe他的兩個主要目標將達到最大的成本效益和安全的改善周轉時間的順序。下面是倉庫性能的詳細信息：
