Transport Logistics Study |

Worcestershire Support Services Agency - were considering alternatives for providing a decontamination service which would meet the requirements of their users whilst complying with statutory regulations. Once a preferred option was identified, this resulted in a business case being put forward to the Region for implementation. |
| |
|
| |
Although considerable progress had been made internally with identifying and developing alternatives, there was concern that analysing the detailed technical aspects of the transport logistics was beyond the resources and expertise of the in-house staff. To this end, Supply Chain Planning Limited were engaged to provide consultancy assistance in analysing the alternatives for the logistics of supporting the decontamination service and making recommendations for providing the necessary transport in the most efficient and cost effective manner. |

Total centralisation (this includes several sub-options to be identified and agreed) |
|
| |
b) |
|
Localised decontamination |
|
| |
|
