Experience Creates ReliabilityZLU Consulting and Management Maintenance logistics at BASF
Dr. Waldhelm Hochstein,
"For the past ten years ZLU has been successfully supporting the top management of BASF. However, the projects are not restricted to the site in Ludwigshafen as was the case for the Europe-wide optimisation of the maintenance logistics."
Being the world's largest chemical company, for BASF logistical questions are of crucial importance. For example, the costs for the provision of technical material at four European sites were reduced by optimising the maintenance logistics. Through the centralisation of responsibilities ZLU was able to reduce the inventory levels significantly and realise an annual cost reduction potential of nearly 20%. |
