inconsoWMS X assignment at Stute

New material logistics center for MTU Friedrichshafen
|
The Bremen logistics service provider Stute Verkehrs GmbH, a subsidiary of Kühne + Nagel, takes over the logistics planning and operations of a material logistics center for MTU Friedrichshafen, the largest subsidiary of the Tognum Group. For the management and control of the 45,000 m² complex, inconsoWMS X will be used. After the acceptance of the business blueprint, inconso AG was commissioned with the software realization, installation and configuration of the service system along with the operational go-live of the fixed and mobile clients.
In the new MLC starting operations at the end of 2011 and reaching its full performance mid 2012, the house and purchase parts previously distributed across multiple warehouse locations will be consolidated. “The central material logistics will bring a significantly more efficient production at the Friedrichshafen location,” said Dr. Ulrich Dohle, Tognum board of directors member for Technology & Operations, during the ground-breaking ceremony.
Stute will supply the finishing and assembly areas of both MTU plants in Friedrichshafen from the MLC using synchronized shuttle transports. In addition, Stute Verkehrs GmbH takes over the shipment of semi- and partly-knocked-down sets as well as the supply of the Chinese MTU assembly plant in Suzhou. A special challenge for the Bremen logistics service provider is the large variation of parts, ranging from normal and small parts to large parts weighing more than 11 tons.
The order was placed with inconso AG, a leading consulting and software company for logistics solutions in Europe, based on factors such as their extensive experience with similar logistics processes and the numerous references for the successful management of such processes with inconsoWMS X.
