Ensuring a smooth supply of material to production and also cost-effective inventory management requires careful warehouse planning. To meet the challenges posed by ever more complex supply criteria, businesses need to consider not just traditional warehouse types but also special solutions such as sequencing and consignment warehouses. These two types of warehouse often demand individual concepts that need not only the right structural setup but also an ability to manage the interfaces in material flow planning, information technology and process reliability. We can assist you with

• Identifying and optimizing space requirements (rough and detailed planning)
• Designing consignment and sequencing warehouse areas (reducing distance required to be covered, ergonomics)
• Forming and prioritizing packages of measures and investment analyses
• Process optimization and reliability: poka-yoke (pick-by-light, pick-by-voice)
• Process automation in materials handling technology, high bay warehouse technology, setup of kanban supermarkets
• Warehouse process control (information technology, demand management, kanban, RFID)
• Implementation planning and on-site realization

The key aim is to handle procurement volumes and warehouse stocks more intelligently. Our services in this area are not limited to purely optimizing existing structures but also include analyzing and planning material flows, developing and evaluating warehouse concepts, and realizing finished systems.
