We support our clients in appraising their existing warehouse concepts and developing, where necessary,  an alternative concept that results in increased efficiency and cost saving. We optimize warehouses in terms of the following, within the framework of complete planning:

• Dimensions: redesign warehouse or establish more efficient use of storage sspace
• Warehouse layout: how goods flow through the warehouse and whether the min/max principle regarding service input and moving goods is guaranteed
• Warehouse system: e.g.: high bay, automatic small-parts, pallet racking, block storage, flow rack, cantilever arm
• Order picking system, e.g.: single-stage or double-stage order picking, static, dynamic, Pick-by-Light, Pick-by-Voice, Pick-to-Pack, zone order picking, collective orders
• Application of means of transport, e.g.: stacker, FTS, tugger trains, manual lift truck, drag chain conveyor
• Product range assignment

Our Approach:

• Analyze internal organizational structures and processes in the logistic sequences as well as detailed records and visualizations of these sequences
• Construct strength-weakness profile
• Reorganize logistic processes in the areas of incoming goods, storage, order picking and internal transport as well as outgoing goods under consumption of total cost potential
• Create target concept and further specifications, connected with detailed costs for restructuring
• Tender warehousing and materials handling, support selection procedure
• Realize and implement suggested warehousing concepts

Intelligent warehouse management guarantees that products are always ready to be delivered punctually and completely. As experienced logistic experts, we provide you with methods and instruments to increase your warehouse productivity.

According to our philosophy, warehouse managing includes three significant subareas aside from the applied storage technique. These areas shape the efficiency of a warehouse:

• Processes
• IT support
• Stock management

The material flow in each of your individual constituents will be dissected and analyzed within the framework of process optimization in the warehouse. Warehouse cost analyses will be conducted and the resulting implications will be determined. The goal of this process is to render necessary processes as streamlined as possible while eliminating frequently appearing, unnecessary processes, expenditures and methods.

IT support that meets all necessary requirements is a significant component in warehousing process optimization. We analyze the exact IT demand required to reach ideal transparency in the warehouse. We will establish performance specifications in further processing stages and offer support in selecting storage/warehousing systems.

We create transparency for current and future inventory and optimize – focusing on the requirements of your clients – order processing and distribution processes.

We first execute ABC and XYZ analyses, referring to stock and revenue movement and article groups, respectively. We thus supply ourselves with an overview of your stock management and can then identify cost intensive articles in warehousing and shipment, with the goal of reaching optimized warehouse capacity.

Your benefits:

• Optimized capacity utilization with minimal capital lockup
• High order-picking performance and method optimization
• Efficient shipment processing
