Production logistics

Production logistics forms the middle part of the logistics chain and deals with the internal material flow and warehouse processes and the interfaces between the two. Of course, the added value still lies in the production of the articles, but it is precisely the movement of goods and warehousing with the associated capital commitment that account for a considerable proportion of the indirect costs. We help companies reduce these costs through

  • Reduction of lead times (transport, lying and processing times)

  • Stock reduction

  • Determination of the optimal lot size

  • Reduction of set-up times

  • Optimization of transport routes and material flow

  • Standardization and product cleansing

  • Container management

  • CIP Processes / Lean Production

  • Kan Ban Systems

  • Material handling

  • Dimensioning of buffer areas and supermarkets

  • Selection of suitable storage systems

  • Selection of ideal industrial trucks

  • Integration of modern information technologies (ERP, BDE, control centre)

In the area of warehouse planning, the type of warehouse to be dimensioned must be defined first:

  • Raw material store

  • Assembly warehouse or

  • Finished parts warehouse

The respective form of delivery, such as bulk material in the manual warehouse, production-dependent Kan Ban systems, supermarkets or order-related order picking trolleys, also depends on this. We support you in the selection of the right storage strategy, in the optimal layout and in the integration during operation.

We also support you in the selection of a suitable warehouse management software (WMS) tailored to your company. This also includes the selection of peripheral devices such as barcode scanners and RFID readers.
