Four weeks to plan, expand and implement a critical new on-site logistics operation
30th November 2012
The OEM’s planning and operational teams had already commissioned and implemented a temporary storage facility at the manufacturing plant. This provided over 4500 sqm of floor space to situate the proposed logistics operation.
With a high level operational layout and process structure, the OEM’s project team liaised with Rudolph and Hellmann Automotives most experienced people to finalise details and hand over operational implementation.
To ensure that the pressed parts logistics operation would be both robust and cost effective, all the planned logistics data was compiled, analysed and integrated into a logistics model to produce a resource structure that would be deployed to operate within the new operation. A complete suite of standard operating processes and procedures were then produced and published to support the operation upon go-live. This was all completed within a critical time-scale of 4 weeks.
The operation now handles over 96 product line items and receives and despatches over 40 full pallets per working hour over a 5-day operating period. The implementation was considered a success and, during the first 4 weeks of operational process, there had been no production stops attributable to the Rudolph and Hellmann Automotive managed elements of the operation.
