Potential analysis

Initial situations from my experience:

• Historically grown logistics processes which have not been fundamentally optimised in recent years
• Indications for considerable savings' potential through benchmarks or comparison with other companies
• Continuously rising logistics costs and customers' dissatisfaction with the level of service achieved

Approach:

• Analysis of processes, structures and systems
• Survey of customers' expectations, market and competition
• Evaluation of weak points and gap analysis
• Identification of areas of potential
• Rough concept and potential validation
• Implementation planning and realisation of quick-wins

Results:

Cost reductions by up to 30 % of logistics costs are achieved by the following:

• Stock level reduction
• Reduction of transport costs
• Reduction in costs for on-site logistics
• Reduction of required surface area
• Avoidance of short-term measures such as overtime and weekend shifts
• Reduction in production costs through improved planning and control
• Reduction in labour, for example in order acceptance, scheduling etc.

Improvements in performance were achieved by the following:

• Improved service level
• Shorter lead times
• Increased flexibility and responsiveness
• Increased availabilities
• Increased delivery readiness and supply reliability
• Increased transparency and information capability
• Reduced logistical risk
