Opportunity Assessment

Current times show us once more that we are living in a very dynamic environment. This also influences requirements for logistics operation. Order volume or structure can change, volume is shifted between sales channels, new channels or product groups are integrated in existing operations or improved service levels have to be fulfilled.

Typical questions that has to be answered are:

What are current drivers for our logistics efforts?
Do our processes still fit to our order and product structure?
What is the limiting factor for scalability?
What is needed for future growth?
What can we improve to grow in existing infrastructure?
Is our equipment still suitable or can we integrate new technologies?
Is the utilization of our equipment as expected or is there a gap between industry standards and our performance?
Are we using our capacities optimally or do we loose efficiency e.g. by an unbalanced workflow?
What can we achieve by applying smart algorithms?
Do we have limitations caused by our IT systems?
Is our organizational and shift structure supporting our logistics needs?

Step 1:
AS IS Analysis

Data analysis
Setup Digital Twin for current operation
Evaluation load and capacity usage (static and dynamic)
Benchmark with industry standards
Identification of pain points

Step 2:
Scenario calculation

Derivation of improvements for processes
Computation of growth scenarios
Simulation of effects of changes for whole material flow
Evaluation of resulting labour effort and capacity usage
Requirements for equipment and IT systems
Estimate of investment for realization
Economic feasibly analysis
