Each case study is structured around the operational context, the intervention, and the measurable result. Names are confidential, but the operating challenges and outcomes reflect the work A&E is built to deliver.
22%
pick productivity uplift in 10 weeks
UK 3PL ambient warehouse, ~150 FTE. Pick productivity had been flat for 18 months and cost per unit was drifting up. A two week diagnostic, slotting redesign, labour model reset, and tier board discipline delivered a 22% pick productivity uplift in 10 weeks and an 11% cost per unit reduction sustained over the following two quarters.
12%
cost-per-order reduction with KPI rhythm restored
UK retail e commerce fulfilment centre. On time despatch, accuracy, and cost per order were drifting ahead of peak. A&E rebuilt the KPI hierarchy, introduced weekly loss reviews, and coached team leaders through daily escalation. Cost per order reduced by 12%, on time despatch returned above 99%, and KPI rhythm stabilised within 6 weeks.
15 pts
OEE improvement in a West Africa FMCG site
West Africa FMCG manufacturer, around 400 FTE. The site had no Lean foundation and high changeover losses.

OEE improved by 15 points over 5 months, changeover time reduced by 28%, and internal teams were trained to extend the model.
