Experience Creates Reliability
ZLU Consulting and Management
Automotive
According to discussions with manufacturers and suppliers regarding key figures such as production, export or new vehicle registrations, the German automobile industry is expecting a comparatively good or even very good year of growth in 2011.
The design, optimisation and reliability of complex supply chains, will be a constant challenge, especially with regard to global procurement, production processes and distribution of completed vehicles.
Apart from this, other issues such as CKD (completely knocked down) production systems demand a high performance capability in logistics. Solutions must be developed for specific questions and challenges.
Key Questions from the Automotive Area:
- Are the restrictions of my supplier network known to me as an OEM, in order to minimise disturbances in the logistics chain?
- Is the planning chain of production and supplier plants free of interferences with regard to material demand forecast, delivery forecast and delivery calls?
- What does the CKD strategy of my company look like and are the current structures and processes up to a growing CKD requirement?
- How can controlling of complex projects be designed, in order to safeguard the best possible interaction of organisational units, processes and IT during the project?
