Our background

Why We Started Tihuzu Consulting

A short explanation of the gap we noticed, and the approach we built to address it.

Layout and scheduling get overlooked

Before starting this practice, the people behind Tihuzu Consulting spent years working inside warehouse and distribution operations, in roles ranging from shift supervision to operations management. A pattern kept showing up. Facilities under pressure to improve throughput would often jump straight to a capital project: new racking, an automated conveyor line, or a replacement warehouse management system.

Those investments can make sense. But in many of the facilities we visited, a large share of the daily friction had nothing to do with equipment. It came from a layout that had been adjusted piece by piece over several years without anyone stepping back to look at the whole flow. It came from shift schedules built around habit rather than actual order volume. It came from inventory counts that were technically tracked somewhere, but not visible to the people who needed them in the moment.

We started Tihuzu Consulting to work specifically in that space. Not as a replacement for equipment investment when it is genuinely needed, but as a first step that helps a facility understand what it is actually dealing with before committing budget to a bigger project.

How we work

A few principles that shape every engagement

Neutral on tools and vendors

We are not tied to any particular software or racking manufacturer, so recommendations are shaped by what fits your operation rather than a partner agreement.

Built with your staff, not around them

The people working the floor usually know where the friction is. Interviews and shadowing shifts are part of most engagements, not an afterthought.

Cost is discussed early

Every recommendation includes a rough sense of effort and cost, so a facility can weigh options before deciding what to pursue.

Change is tested, not imposed

We favor small trials of a new layout or schedule before rolling anything out across an entire shift or facility.
