Joe takes Ops for Mila
June 2015

Joe Montague is the new Operations Manager at MILA.

Heading up a 19 strong team, Joe has overall responsibility for Mila’s warehouse operation in Daventry. He is also managing stock control, health and safety and Mila’s late stage customisation service which provides bespoke product and packaging options.

Joe said: “Our supply chain operation is hugely impressive so we can guarantee to have items on our shelves when our customers want them. Now, the ongoing improvements we are making in stock counts and in delivery performance are enhancing our service to customers still further.”

Joe has already introduced new processes such as forward order picking before the start of every month so that Mila can seamlessly manage the spike in orders which typically occurs then. He is also implementing a system upgrade in the warehouse IT management system to improve efficiency and is working closely with a number of customers to analyse the benefits of other new initiatives such as more eco-friendly reusable stillages and packaging.
