In a world that is constantly evolving, efficient and well-designed logistics are crucial to the success of any business. That’s where we come in. With our many years of experience and extensive expertise, we offer tailored logistics consulting services to optimize your operations and take your logistics strategy to the next level.
In overarching logistics, a comprehensive understanding of the entire network is crucial for identifying and harnessing potential. To achieve this, we analyze your various sites and all logistics-relevant components of your supply chain, comparing them with other corporate areas, competitors if necessary, and our extensive industry experience. Based on our track record, traditional network studies can yield logistics flow optimizations of up to 10%.
By examining the entire supply chain, we can identify the key levers for achieving cost-efficient logistics — and, if desired, work with you to implement them. Our approach combines data-driven analysis with a deep operational understanding of logistics processes.
As part of a network study, we assess the robustness and flexibility of your supply chain and conduct a resilience check of both your processes and framework conditions.
Even the best logistics strategy and the most creative solution will not be approved by your management unless they are economically viable and demonstrably the best option for your business. To identify economically optimized logistics and material flow solutions, we use process cost and utility analyses.
We always start with your organization's current (real-world) logistics costs as a baseline. This involves analyzing your processes and determining the actual incurred costs. In addition to fixed logistics costs, we particularly examine the variable costs associated with your processes, including necessary personnel. For cost determination, we draw on a comprehensive pool of benchmark values. A comparable calculation is then carried out for the newly developed logistics solutions, factoring in any required investments, opportunity costs, and ongoing operational expenses. The result is a detailed breakdown of the logistics process costs across various levels of granularity (both CAPEX and OPEX).
Beyond cost considerations, other factors that influence the choice of concept are also taken into account — such as system reliability, availability, workplace safety, response times, and ergonomics. These criteria are individually defined and weighted to match your company's specific needs.
We then conduct a utility analysis to assess the qualitative value of the proposed systems.
