Efficient material flow planning - a decisive factor

Material Flow Planning

Holistic and efficiently designed material flows are a decisive factor for the performance and economy of logistics systems. They enable throughput times, inventories, space and resource requirements and the associated costs to be reduced while at the same time increasing logistical performance, process stability, flexibility and supply security. Changing framework conditions, an increasing number of variants and changes in assortments and order structures often lead to existing structures, technology and processes no longer functioning in line with requirements, becoming inefficient and non-transparent.

 

In this environment, a logistics system with lean material flows geared to the value stream in conjunction with storage and materials handling technology that optimally meets performance and capacity requirements is of fundamental importance in order to secure the company’s own competitiveness. Inefficiencies, e.g. caused by too long transport routes, unwanted material stays or too high inventories, must be minimized as far as possible in the holistic design of internal material movements.

The decisive factor material flow

We analyze the material flows in your company to uncover existing optimization potential. According to your needs, we give recommendations for action or realize the planning draft for you.

Whether new or expansion planning of a logistics property or the optimization of historically grown structures and processes in already existing systems. Material flow planning is suitable for numerous areas of application. In all cases it is crucial to choose a holistic planning approach. Layout planning, material flow planning and process design must not be considered in isolation, but are closely interlinked. VCE GmbH supports your company in harmonizing the use of technology and personnel as well as processes in an optimized functional layout with directed material flows, so that the requirements for capacity and performance of the overall system are met holistically and optimally and the productivity and profitability of your company is increased.
