Spare Parts Logistics

Tailored IT architectures for high process and service quality

A successful spare parts logistics requires concentration on the essentials: the demand driven design of inventories and short delivery deadlines to avoid downtime and damage to a company’s image – whether in the airplane industry, in plant construction or the commercial vehicle industry and even with agriculture and textile machinery manufacturers. Lean, stable and secure processes are demanded that ensure the quick and reliable supply of spare parts even by increasing and changing requirements. An important component here is a highly productive Warehouse Management System which can efficiently manage and control a large product portfolio and order variation and realizes short throughput times. Intelligent algorithems for the order management are a prerequisite for the comparision of order picking task prioritzation with the existing capacities and the continual coordination and (if necessary) correction of the order sequence creation. These functionalities are implemented in standard software package inconsoWMS which is successful used in different lines of business for the control of the spare part logistics.
