logistics
If you're in a hurry, go slowly. If you're in a hurry, take a detour. [Japanese saying]
A detour is, for example, the Kanban system. With the Kanban system, the parts are not only provided when they are needed. Instead, they are stored at the place of processing. But in a quantity that ensures a high stock turnover with immediate availability. This not only has to be planned at the start, but also constantly adapted to the changed conditions.
Especially in logistics - whether in the provision of materials for a production order, internal transport, storage or delivery - it pays to think about lean management here.
It is not surprising that the heads of the responsible employees sometimes smoke.
The demands of customers keep growing.

The challenge
Goods have to be available at the right time in the right place in the right quality and in the right quality. Otherwise there is a risk of disruptions in operations that cause unnecessary costs. Or goods arrive too late at the customer, which can results in contractual penalties.
Only those who know their material flow very well can derive solutions that are of great importance not only now, but also tomorrow.

The challenge
Broaden your perspective. Don't just look at the transport step by step. Consider the goods from origin to use by the customer. To keep the organizational effort as low as possible, the use of a Kanban system, for example, is a good solution. Because it eliminates routine work to a minimum and relieves employees for more important tasks. It is just as important to keep the capital required for the manufacturing process as low as possible to avoid liquidity bottlenecks. In order to be able to work out an optimal solution here, knowledge of the entire process is required. From the customer through the supplier to on-time use at the customer. We can also score in this, because we are also very familiar with this from practice. We do not present any wisdom from the theory, we know what is required.
