Cost-optimized scheduling
Optimized ordering structure for Peter Lacke
Together with valantic, Peter Lacke analyzed all order lot sizes, taking into account all relevant cost factors. The potential identified was specifically prepared for implementation in operational procurement.
About the company
Peter Lacke is a leading manufacturer of paints and varnishes with an international customer structure and over 120 employees. Together with valantic, the order lot sizes of all procurement items were analyzed and optimized. The goal was to define cost-optimized order quantities based on all relevant cost factors and thus significantly reduce process costs in procurement.
The project
The challenge
The existing order lot sizes at Peter Lacke were not based on a total cost approach. Neither price scales nor ordering, storage or capital costs were systematically taken into account. The aim was to determine a cost-optimized order quantity for all procurement items and thus create a sound basis for decision-making for operational procurement.
Consulting approach
- Analysis of procurement items and cost items
- Systematic survey of all relevant costs per item: Price scales, storage, ordering and capital costs
- Structured preparation of the data for further calculation
- Calculation of optimal order quantities
- Integrated evaluation of general and customer-specific factors
- Identification of cost-optimized quantities per item
- Alignment and implementation recommendations
- Comparison with customer restrictions
- Preparation of the results for operational procurement for practical implementation
Solutions & results in detail
Optimal order quantities were calculated by analyzing all procurement items and relevant cost items. The identified potentials were processed in a structured manner and transferred to the operational procurement department in a targeted manner – as a basis for well-founded decisions in day-to-day business.
Conclusion
With valantic, Peter Lacke established cost-based control of order lot sizes. The transparency gained and the practical implementation strengthen efficiency in procurement and ensure long-term economic benefits.
