Logistics concept study for the reorganization of logistics processes and synchronisation with production
At the time of the study:
An increase in production volume troubles the existing logistics processes and the synchronisation with production units.
Additionally Solvay was confronted with following challenges:
- low fulfillment accuracy (OTIF);
- functional restrictions in existing MES system;
- little to no transparancy in order status.
Objectives
- Design an optimized logistics concept which alleviates existing bottlenecks.
- Which investments are required and what is the influence on the operational expenses?
- How can we introduce more transparancy on the order status?
Result
- Optimized logistics concept with clear ROI and PP;
- Proposals for operational improvements, ready to implement (low hanging fruit);
- User and technical requirements for MES-WMS applications.
