Independent consulting · Logistics & supply chain
ILOGA works with manufacturers and logistics providers on warehouse design, resource sizing and operations organisation.
Every recommendation rests on a quantified, documented method, built with you and grounded in the reality of your operations.
Areas of work
How much space, how many people, which organisation, and on what figures to decide.
ILOGA covers these four, separately or end to end.
Designing an organisation that works: team structures, sizing of supervision, and how responsibilities are split across activities and across sites.
Modelling workload flow by flow, setting target productivity rates, projecting headcount over several years. Enough to settle a hiring plan, an investment or a service contract.
Establishing current and future space requirements, storage media and their capacities, then turning them into a workable layout that accounts for the physical and economic constraints shaping the project.
Validating the data, setting the assumptions that drive the outcome, and turning them into costed, comparable projections — ready to take to the board and defensible on their assumptions.
Method
This sequence applies to every assignment, with durations that vary according to the size of the scope.
Understanding and setting out what is at stake, the decision to be made, its timing and who owns it. Half a day on site is enough to reframe the question, its scope and its stakes — and to confirm whether a full study is warranted at all.
Extracting and cleaning operational data: volume history, SKUs, seasonality, activity logs. Modelling only begins once the data is factual and validated.
Building the workload model and the scenarios. The model is first validated against your current activity, then used as the basis for projections.
A costed decision pack, initiative by initiative, presented to your teams and then to your management. Implementation follow-up if you want it.
Profile
ILOGA is the consulting practice of Olivier Gavazzi, an independent logistics and supply chain consultant based in the Toulouse area, working across France, Europe and internationally.
Over 15 years in logistics consultancies, from consultant to office manager. More than 100 projects delivered worldwide, in execution as well as in management, always as the person accountable for the result. Cross-sector experience, from heavy industry to e-commerce: two logistics worlds that have almost nothing in common.
The common thread across these assignments is warehousing: between goods-in and goods-out, where most of the operating cost sits and where most of the improvement is available. Site design, workforce sizing, organisation and management of operations — on the principle that a logistics recommendation is only worth as much as your ability to redo the calculation yourself.
Assignments run in French or in English.
