Industrial
Outsourcing

Our fully managed industrial outsourcing solution offers a unique blend of recruitment and 3PL services. With our staffing background, the hands-on experience of our ex-logistics and manufacturing professionals, and a range of technology partners, we shoulder direct responsibility for your complex operational challenges. Adecco takes on more ownership and risk, nurtures long-term partnerships, and finds innovative ways to unlock value across your business. 

Our pricing is based on output and purchased services, and we always begin by conducting a thorough analysis and audit of current processes and outputs. Risks are reduced as we take full responsibility of internal processes, and our Operational Efficiency Programme underpins our solutions. We invest in expertise which include specialist technology providers and health and safety compliance. Our focus is working with you to provide a solution that fits your team.

Warehousing 

We offer a fully managed end-to-end warehouse operation on customer premises. This includes complete control and execution of internal logistics, scheduling, haulage partnerships, line feed, stock management, and end of line, everything apart from manufacture.

Our supervisors lead on all aspects, resolving issues around performance, haulage or machinery. We take full ownership of the operation, providing a full team of fully managed workers, who work to KPIs and schedules and are measured on output metrics. 

Production Line Management 

 We run a production line that fulfils promotional packing, bespoke packaging, rework, or co-packing requirements. We will break down finished goods into individual items and repackage them into a promotional pack, or rework products that are labelled or packaged incorrectly.  

On confirmation of how many units are required and in what timeframe, we create and execute a plan to deliver it. We ensure full production line supervision and quality control. 

Operations Management 

In conjunction with warehouse or production line outsourcing, we also offer traditional temporary staffing solutions. We handle the recruitment, onboarding, induction, scheduling, training, and management of category 1 temp staff. This can include taking over a temp staffing operation from another supplier alongside one of our outsourced operations. 

In addition, we implement Lean and Six Sigma methodologies, and drive cost savings and efficiency programmes. This is output-focused temp staffing, covering a wide range of roles from operatives and supervisors to finance or admin. We cover all the moving parts associated with managing shifts in a dynamic manufacturing, warehousing, or logistics environment.  

Light Outsourcing 

This is for customers who retain responsibility for elements that would normally transition to us under a full outsourcing. It includes plant machinery ownership, haulage partnerships, health and safety audits, and employers’ liability insurance. Light outsourcing offers a path from a temp staffing model to an outsourced model by transitioning responsibility from customer to supplier over time.
