Tiivistelmä
Logistics – be it in production, transportation, warehousing or communication – is an essential part of today’s business life. This makes the organization of logistical processes in companies a crucial issue on the one hand and a profitability booster on the other.
The study focused on certain operations of a service company with aim to improve them and achieve cost reduction through those improvements.
The aim was achieved by using observation and analysing the process, searching for weaknesses and room for improvements and re-organization based on the theoretical frame- work of the thesis. This was followed by proposals for the steps needed to be taken in order to meet the aim.
The study included costless implementation events in which the proposed changes were applied to the process. The study also included estimations of possible cost savings that could improve the balance sheet of the company.
In addition, the conclusions of the study were in line with previous research findings stat- ing that targeted corrections and improvements in the logistical processes could bring significantly bigger outputs for a company. This opened avenues for future studies that could focus on the creation of a framework for internal logistical processes in a service company or on the development of a quality management system that would include the mentioned framework.
