			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>During 2006 AS Consulting carried out work for the Fozzy Group (a Ukrainian based Supermarket chain). This involved 8 trips to Kiev&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.several visits being in the winter months!!</p>
	<p>The contract involved a process improvement project across the warehouse &amp; instore logistics processes. The studies highlighted opportunities to significantly improve these processes. In fact, warehouse productivity more than doubled within a few weeks of the completion of the intitial work.</p>
	<p>Furthermore, I project managed a pilot study that assessed the potential impact of automatic ordering on the business of the client company. This demonstrated huge improvements in sales, inventory levels &amp; logistics costs.</p>
	<p editor_id="mce_editor_0">Given my expertise is mainly in cost reduction I was delighted to learn from client management that the changes I&nbsp;suggested had also increased their vegetable sales by more than 20%!!!</p>
