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.
