The changing face of logistics Logistics keywords: Cost reduction Process simplification Consideration of the entire value added chain Smaller and more manageable containers in production, which can no longer be moved efficiently with trucks New concept of truck-free production and the use of towing systems Objective: Reduction of truck single trips; moving towards more cost-effective transportation using transport units that provide the majority of material movements to supply a workplace or production unit 3
Improving efficiency Internal transportation: goods are moved horizontally and vertically Loading and unloading of lorries/distributing/storing Transport to the picking zone/supermarket/production Transport from the picking zone to supermarket/production Result: The majority of these movements are horizontal! The use of Logistic Trains that can transport several containers horizontally with one movement is an optimisation of the overall system. The use of Logistic Trains improves both the efficiency of all used industrial trucks but also that of the personnel 4
The changing face of logistics Truck versus Logistic Train Previously: Material delivery by truck Delivery of material to the assembly cells using a forklift truck Use of large load carriers to optimise logistics costs Push principle for material provision Detailed logistics with assembly personnel using "pallet trucks" In future: Material delivery by Logistic Train Use of scheduled Logistic Trains Use of small load carriers for minimum stock levels Pull principle for material provision No logistic activities by the value creators to increase overall productivity Focus: Capacity optimisation Focus: Minimum lead time 5
The changing face of logistics advantages of the tow tractor Truck provision Trailer train provision Production line no. 1 Production line no. 1 Production line no. 1 Production line no. 1 The break-even point is case-specific, but as a rule is approx. 150 m. 6
Advantages of material provision with trailer trains Round-trips with trailer trains Continuous, clocked material provision No turning of forklift trucks Lower personnel costs Structured, linear processes Less intersecting traffic, less oncoming traffic Smaller transport volume, fewer empty trips Smaller aisle width, space savings Reduced risk of accidents Better handling performance Processes Safety Cost effectiveness 7
