Logistics advice with experience

In logistics consulting, the following applies: industry, trade, forwarding and services always have to master new challenges. The spectrum here is very broad. On the one hand, it is about the partial optimization of existing processes and transport structures. On the other hand, efficient processes at a new logistics location must be made more efficient overall.

With over 30 years of experience in logistics consulting, Orgaplan is an experienced partner. Despite all the attention to detail, we keep an eye on the big picture. At the same time, we ensure a practical solution.

Logistics advice and solution competence from experience

Our consulting and service portfolio is characterized by two pillars: warehouse design and implementation as well as optimization of transport logistics. These two focal points also lead to strategic simulation. We analyze complex dynamic logistics networks in detail. The aim is to optimize the entire supply chain.

Our team in logistics consulting consists of experienced logistics and project management experts. We always work independently and product-neutral. And in this way we ensure individual solutions with a lot of practical orientation. Our services are as diverse as the demands of our customers. For our customers, this means that we always see the whole picture and reliably keep our bearings on all paths.

We always keep in mind that the technical and economic conditions are constantly changing. Our customers are always making new demands on us. Especially when digital, automated and manual processes have to interact efficiently, this requires a high level of problem-solving expertise. We see one of our main tasks in creating long-term values ​​and measurable results for our customers at the same time .

Process optimization with logistics consulting

Logistics lives with constant change. This is fueled by the dynamic change in the market and competition. In intralogistics, every process affects profitability. Processes are optimally aligned when the highest possible efficiency is achieved. In addition, the logistics manager should be able to act flexibly in the event of changes. Our logistics consulting in the competence field Process-optimization takes all of these requirements into account.

We have been able to prove our reliability and quality of results in numerous projects in our core area of ​​logistics consulting. We are our customers and provide answers to technical and professional questions.

We are available to you flexibly as a stage guide or as a long-term project consultant and planner.

In logistics consulting, we focus on these areas of competence: strategy, transport, warehouse planning, organization and controlling. In these five areas we stand for efficient and future-oriented solutions.

Strategic planning

Strategic location simulation STASIM – We simulate your supply chain

Using a location simulation, we evaluate upcoming location planning at a strategic level. In the location optimization, the number of possible logistics locations and their geographic locations are varied. The initial situation in the company is often similar: Location and distribution structures have usually grown traditionally. Within logistics consulting, a location simulation provides the necessary basis for future-oriented business decisions. All essential elements of the supply chain are taken into account.

Future scenarios in logistics

The optimization of the supply chain does not end with an optimal location solution. When making investment decisions, certainty about their long-term impact is important. Infrastructural changes, price changes of the most important energy sources or, for example, the establishment of environmental zones and their conditions influence your investment decision.

Strategy means optimizing logistics networks and increasing efficiency

Optimized logistics networks are vital for the long-term economic success of a company. What is the major challenge for logistics management when optimizing logistics networks? Individual goals often contradict each other. Therefore, they must be taken into account in equal measure in order to achieve an optimum in the overall costs. In logistics consulting, we therefore check whether an existing logistics structure is still optimal by today’s standards. It is determined which locations and logistics networks are still useful to operate in the future. Future influences can be taken into account here: Development of tolls, fuel costs, restrictions on city logistics, changes in sales and much more. Particularly important here is the possibility of optimization with regard to sustainability and green logistics.

Our comprehensive know-how and the use of highly developed simulation systems ensures a comprehensive assessment of all risks and answers all of them Your questions. The powerful location simulation program STASIM® developed by ORGAPLAN Logistik GmbH is used in logistics consulting.

Tour planning and tour optimization

When it comes to delivering goods, the ideal route is optimal and thus maximum utilization of loading space and working hours. In practice, many influencing factors lead to tours that deviate from the ideal. In logistics consulting, we have many years of experience in operational tour optimization, i.e. in the creation of practical framework tour plans. It is important not only to focus on the theoretical optimum of a planning tool, but also on individual customer needs and the typical fluctuations and peculiarities of day-to-day business. As a result, you will also receive a practical optimization of your transport and a Cost optimization of the tours driven. Another typical focus of route optimization is field service management. Compared to the Frame tour planning the focus here is on a different target definition.

Potential analysis: unlock your potential

Using potential analysis, we can quickly generate an overview of the actual performance and cost structure of your distribution. This can be done in conjunction with industry-specific benchmarking. Through special monitoring, we show which areas have potential for savings. The main goal of logistics consulting is to identify and quantify potential savings in transport structures. We will then draw up an effective catalog of measures.

Distribution logistics: Realizing the right concept

Today’s requirements for distribution logistics are complex. Realizing the right distribution concept is more than the daily compilation of routes and delivery to the customer. With strategic investigations such as cluster planning or the optimal delivery day structure, the foundations for subsequent detailed optimization are laid. For example, the optimal delivery days and frequencies are determined at the individual customer level. And fleet management (own fleet vs. third-party fleet) is also of crucial importance. Here, in logistics consulting, the assessment of the current freight matrices (freight tables) and conditions is an important criterion. In addition, models for allocation of distribution costs based on cause can be developed. Complex simulation tools for distribution logistics are used to determine synergy potential

Outsourcing and Tendering

Another key point of our logistics consulting is the subject of outsourcing and tendering, where make or buy decisions are becoming more and more important for logistical trades Gain meaning . They can help reduce logistics costs, but also create new dependencies.

Warehouse construction and optimization

Storage planning: build a new warehouse or optimize an existing warehouse?

Investing in a new or existing logistics property is always associated with long-term risks for your company. Because storage space is becoming scarce, people are looking for quick compromises, which in most cases only represent an adequate interim solution. It is therefore important to provide you with an optimal storage solution in which the overall processes of your warehouse logistics are smoothly integrated are. In doing so, we will take into account the special requirements of your industry, your products and your sales structure. In logistics consulting, we look at exactly that. We accompany you in every project phase to optimize your storage space – for optimal storage logistics. A typical warehouse planning project is divided into a preliminary planning phase and a detailed planning phase.

Storage technology and material flow planning are the core elements of logistics

The essential core element of logistics consulting is logistical functional planning. Because we select the right mix of Warehouse system technology, we set the course for your success in logistics . We design the optimal solution from an extensive range of system components for storage technology and conveyor technology. For example, in the detailed material flow planning, a synthesis of the system, processes and building into a complex and coherent building, process and system concept transferred.

Reorganization and expansion – keeping an eye on the competition

You want to reorganize or expand your warehouse or production. Because this entails high investments and complex tasks, planning should be done at an early stage and be backed up with all the information relevant to the decision. This applies equally to reorganization and expansion. Our logistics advice will help you to develop a technically optimal and economically sensible solution – so that you can cope with future market changes with the installed systems without major conversions.

3D visualization in the logistics environment

A process visualization brings transparency to my project. A 3D visualization illustrates abstract drawings and concepts. Is our strategy working? With 3D visualization, we can present processes in an understandable way, because such information is much more difficult to transport in other ways.

Logistics outsourcing with foresight

Logistics outsourcing should not only aim to save as many costs as possible, but also to increase your own flexibility and quality. With our logistics consulting, we ensure that these goals are achieved in practice. Therefore, a detailed description of the services that the service provider is to provide is required when the logistics tender is created. The complexity of such an outsourcing project is high. At the same time, the topic must be treated with great sensitivity and confidentiality from day one, since certain parts of the company’s own staff are affected by the outsourcing. In addition, logistics outsourcing always harbors the risk of losing one’s own scope for action and ending up in a cost trap in the medium term. In addition, logistics know-how is usually handed over for good.

Weak point analysis or process optimization

Business process reengineering: Our process optimization includes the recording of existing business processes using flow charts, the critical Weak point analysis with comparison to logistics reference processes and the development of optimal “best practice” solutions.

Organization and Controlling

Bonus systems and time studies

The introduction of performance-related pay in the form of a bonus system or premium wage system aims to improve profitability, work motivation and to increase quality. The performance reserves of your employees are mobilized through a material incentive in the form of a performance-based bonus and the per-capita performance is thus increased via the bonus system. The experiences from our logistics consulting in the area of ​​bonus systems and time studies have been proven to help in forming good permanent staff . For example, this also reduces fluctuation. Many influencing factors can develop positively: On the one hand, the remuneration is objectively and subjectively fairer. At the same time, job satisfaction increases and qualified workers can be recruited on the labor market. On the other hand, the level of performance of the individual employee increases significantly. Finally, a bonus system is used as a valuable management tool (key figures, quality, personnel deployment planning)

KPI / benchmarking

In order to achieve effective results in controlling, we start with understanding the processes. We then define the relevant keys KPI (key indicators) for costs, productivity, time, but also Quality. These serve as a decision basis for control, both for management and for the operational levels.
