Best Practice: Optimization of shelf areas in the after-sales area

In the course of a holistic evaluation of processes and IT, the task was to analyze the current inventory structures and operating strategies to reveal optimization potential. After a detailed “as is” analysis and mapping of the inventory configuration in MAGELLAN, various optimization scenarios, including inventory topology and operating strategies could be simulated in SAP EWM. Part of the optimization depicted storage by product line network based on a shopping cart analysis. As a result, inventory density and productivity could be increased.

Supply security

Incorrect deliveries, insufficient material allocation, and a lack of transparency result in supply problems and additional costs. With proper expertise and technology, you can get a permanent handle on this: Immediate actions guarantee you quick process transparency with standardized tools in the areas of supply performance, efficiency, and inventory; necessary process optimizations are analyzed and created.

The focus is always on the following aspects: long-term securing and anchoring of performance-increasing processes; sub-supplier management including tasks in production and inventory logistics; and special measures to systematically avoid incorrect deliveries. Here, continuous improvements reduce your delivery risks and can optimize your procurement costs and quality expenses.

Transparent and stable processes along the value-added chain ensure the increase of your competitive capability, so that you can exploit this as the basis for further growth.

Automotive

Strategic advising for the automobile industry

There aren’t many other industries that have such tightly timed cross-company value creation chains as in the automobile industry. However, given dramatic shifts in the regional importance of sales and procurement markets; the electrification, digitalization, and individualization of vehicles; and with respect to ever-stricter environmental protection laws, OEMs and suppliers are facing enormous disruptions. Without changes, the strengths of the past will lead to a dead end.

Process and IT support for an industry in motion

Do you want to be one of the winners with these changes? Transform current challenges into long-term strengths of your company? Plan reliably even in volatile markets and produce smartly and efficiently? Then you should act now instead of only reacting. A first step: Speak with the experts from valantic. Our specialist teams have many years of industry experience with knowledge of new tools and technologies.

Specialist article: Trends in supplier management: Mobile expert teams secure the supply chain

Complex supply chains in the automobile and mechanical engineering industries are creating ever more mutual dependencies between OEMs and suppliers. Supplier management that only focuses on searching for replacement sources in cases of delivery problems are no longer adequate. A new trend: manufacturers are commissioning supply chain management experts with process optimization at the supplier in cases of insufficient supply security.
