Let’s assume you want to optimise and economise your transport or warehouse logistics so you can focus your company’s resources on value-adding activities. Or perhaps it’s time for you to change logistics partners. Or maybe you want to optimise your supply chain costs and refine your Kanban production. For such a project to yield the desired success, you need the right partner and first-class project management. We provide both for your outsourcing project.

Services worthy of the name

Project organisation

The first thing we do is set up a suitable project organisation. We select a capable project management team and a corresponding steering board.

Analysis and logistics concept

Now we analyse your existing logistics processes and get a picture of how things look on-site. Then we develop the right overall concept for you. With this, we show you the potential for optimisation within your organisation and how you can tap into it. In the process, we determine the requisite key performance indicators, set realistic goals and define sensible controls.

Implementation and launch

As soon as you’ve given our approach the thumbs-up, we begin by defining and programming the interfaces to your IT systems and applications. We also prepare the warehouse accordingly, create instructions, train our employees based on the customer-specific requirements and run various beta tests. Only when we’re sure that everything is running smoothly do we switch over to live operation.

Kanban

Today, many manufacturers run their production based on the Kanban method. This approach is based on the actual consumption of materials at the staging and use locations. This enables a reduction in local stocks of primary products that will be installed in the next integration stage in and near the production site. We also work with Kanban methodology and link your production process with our warehouse logistics capabilities according to this principle.

The total solution, piece by piece

Friday, 4 February 2022

In 2012, Zurich-based trading company Bucher Landtechnik AG outsourced its replacement parts logistics to Planzer. Today, the Planzer Härkingen logistics centre manages 60,000 articles, with more than half in the automatic small parts warehouse (ASPW). Over 130 shipments roll off the ramp every day. Tractors, combine harvesters, balers, forage harvesters, telescopic loaders, ploughs, mounted sprayers, disc mowers, gyrotedders, windrowers, wrappers, fodder mixing wagons, and yard loaders all have two things in common: they set the pulses of farmers and machine technology buffs racing, and they include hundreds of replacement parts. Every single one of them can break – and the fix has to be prompt.
