Supermarket / Warehousing

Are you already in production or still waiting for stock?

Missing parts, extra deliveries and transparency must be avoided. The supermarket enables the provision of items in suited containers and the correct size of lot in centralized or decentralized warehouses. Due to standardized load carriers and scannable barcode labels the picking performance has increased. Pick to light, - to vision or -to voice could be the turbo boost for your warehouse team. By defined lot sizes counting, weighing or measuring will be reduced down to the minimum. Using the kanban principle production requests will refer to the actual consumption. The provision of the required material is based on a timed item delivery. Scheduled supply routes ensure the availabilty of the items to the consumers and facilitate the planning of the logistics staff.

After successful implementation, you will benefit from the following advantages:

• Less missing parts
• Increase in productivity, ergonomic improvement due to shorter walking- and ripping times for the worker and logistics staff
• Gaining process quality through less assembly errors in the line
• Improved efficiency and staff motivation
• Efficient item supply due to single drive reduction
• Increased transparency and reduced complexity in the material flow
• Minimized space requirements for provided items within the line
• WIP minimissing
• Avoidance of demanding peaks
• Clear item identification

Content/Structure

• Analysis of product variance and the material flow
• Selection of appropriate commissioning techniques
• Defintion of a suitable supermarket (e.g. lot size, container, labels, identification system, shelves, supply)

What additional values will you receive?

The material flow will be analyzed by a team using value stream mapping. The close coordination with the management and the machine operators leads to a high acceptance and a fast implementation of the new supermarket principle. Our partner company V² supports you in the selection and procurement of suitablbe materials for the realization of your supermarket or for the commissioning.
