Sustainable Optimization of logistics processes

How could we help?

Concept for increasing efficiency and rationalization for sustainable and competitive logistics processes

Our customer, Elektror airsystems GmbH, is one of the leading international manufacturers of industrial fans for various applications. With their centrifugal fans, axial fans and single or double-stage side channel blowers, they offer the right volume flow and pressure for ventilation applications. Customized solutions as well as complete systems are among Elektror’s core competencies. Elektror airsystems GmbH celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024 and employs around 450 people in its headquarters in Ostfildern, at numerous international sales locations and at its production sites in Germany, Poland and China.

The task: In order to secure the competitiveness of Elektror airsystems GmbH at its German production site in Waghäusel, support was needed in the development of a concept to sustainably increase efficiency in logistics.

“The advice provided by ifp consulting enabled us to identify a wide range of potential in our existing logistics processes in a very short time. In addition, practical measures were developed and evaluated in order to improve our logistics sustainably. With ifp consulting, we have found the ideal sparring partner to support our optimization project.”

Our contribution

Challenges and solutions

Changing market conditions and longer delivery times on the procurement side have meant that the design of logistics and its processes no longer meet requirements. In order to maintain competitiveness, the aim is to increase efficiency in logistics. In addition to improving inventory accuracy, future-proof processes are required (e.g. for the switch to SAP S/4HANA) as well as an efficient layout and logistics concept with an appropriate level of automation and digitalization.

Results

To identify the potential in the existing logistics process, an analysis of the existing database and processes was first carried out. Measures were then developed together with the project team to leverage the potential in terms of inventory accuracy, processes and storage space requirements in the warehouse.

The measures were then translated into action scenarios. The optimal concept was identified using a technical and economic benefit analysis. In order to provide a holistic view, the scenarios were not only evaluated qualitatively based on the utility value, but also quantitatively using the net present value method.

Successful collaboration

Lasting effect

The developed concept was translated into an implementation roadmap. On this basis, Elektror airsystems GmbH is able to continuously optimize its logistics and thus increase its efficiency sustainably.
