SAFETY &
SECURITY

With safety as our core principle, Kenco has developed a comprehensive safety management program —perfectly tailored to keep your business running smoothly, your costs lower, and your workers safe.

Our capabilities include safety & health, claims management (workers’ compensation, automobile, general liability, etc.) fleet safety (DOT), loss prevention & security, and Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism Act (C-TPAT) compliance.

CORE PRINCIPLES

  1. INCIDENT/INJURY PREVENTION
    By controlling hazards and properly training staff to use safety devices and personal protective equipment, we make our spaces safe places to work.
  2. SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY
    Safety starts on the first day of employment. Throughout their careers, all our employees are responsible for their own safety and the safety of those around them.
  3. SAFETY TRAINING
    Working safely does not come naturally – it is learned. Our effective training programs teach, motivate, and reinforce safety knowledge to help prevent injury and illness.
  4. SAFETY AUDITS
    Audits of both facilities and programs are consistently conducted to assess the program’s effectiveness while always looking for areas of improvement.

IMPLEMENTING OUR CORE PRINCIPLES

Security
Through Kenco’s Layered Security philosophy, we develop customized security plans, employing multiple physical security barriers, electronic security systems, processes, and procedures that work in tandem to optimize facility safety.

Security Training
Through our training program, our assigned Safety/Security Advocates instruct associates on how to spot potential site security threats, covering everything from warehouse and information security to loss prevention, employee theft, and workplace violence.

Security Policies
To secure our sites against ever-evolving threats and drive operational excellence, Kenco is constantly updating security policies, which guide associates on how best to prevent and react to a range of threats and situations.

Procedures
Site security is an active part of everything we do. That’s why we build security measures into all our standard operating procedures – helping us keep our sites and operations safe.

Systems
Kenco’s multifront approach to site security employs both physical and electronic devices – including security officers, intrusion detection, infrared sensors, and closed-circuit television (CCTV) – to establish both internal and external security barriers.

Risk Audits
Kenco conducts risk audits to determine a site’s overall security integrity, potential vulnerabilities, and possible solutions. From physical to procedural to electronic systems, the risk audit helps to ensure every site has proficient protection.

QUALITY
MANAGEMENT

Continuous improvement is the driving force behind Kenco’s Quality Management System (QMS). From standardized work and operating procedures to risk management tools, our Quality Management System provides reproducible results that add value to our customers.

Capable of being tailored to each site’s specific regulatory and industry standards, our QMS is ISO 9001:2015 compliant and specifically designed to drive constant improvement for our customers.

PLAN-DO-CHECK-ACT

Through our Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) lifecycle, Kenco’s management team implements QMS standards and customer requirements at kick-off via our enterprise QMS, allowing us to monitor and improve tactics as the program progresses.

  • Internal auditing programs  
  • Training curriculum for site quality representative 
  • Regulatory and quality guidance programs 

Kenco utilizes over 50 on-call Logistic Engineers for internal & external customer projects, assessing cost & pricing, facility layout, new facility transitions, continuous improvements, and other specific requests — analyzing various business functions to make improvement recommendations.

Structured Implementation Process

THE FOUR D’S: DISCOVERY, DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, DEPLOYMENT

Kenco’s structured IT implementation process works in tandem with our engineering and project management teams, helping customers to define:

  • Integration points and formats (EDI, API, etc.)
  • Optimal WMS configurations
  • Custom labels, forms, and packing list requirements

Once created, the plan is reviewed by our operations team, interfaces are tested, and user acceptance testing (UAT) is conducted to ensure the IT solution meets all requirements. The program is then closely monitored to ensure all aspects have been successfully implemented.

KENCO SYSTEMS

BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Technology availability and data integrity are imperative to maintaining uninterrupted operations. Whatever technology stack we design for your business, you can be assured Kenco’s IT solution will meet the rigors of your data security and business continuity plans. We follow industry standards to protect against cybersecurity threats and conduct routine vulnerability tests and employee training to ensure all systems and behaviors are safe and compliant.

All applications are hosted on the Amazon Web Services cloud infrastructure, utilizing global data centers that are renowned for their multiple layers of security, redundancy, and disaster resiliency. Our redundancy policies ensure your operation will never have more than four hours of downtime or 30 minutes of data loss. That could save your business thousands of dollars, at a minimum, because it eliminates the risk of a long-term outage.

Furthermore, we minimize downtime and data loss by relying on a hyper-secure storage infrastructure, which means your data is as safe as possible if a disaster occurs. Kenco’s well-defined failover processes ensure that if a system failure ever occurs, your operation will seamlessly continue to run. As a result, we can commit to a system uptime of 99.5%.
