INDUSTRY:

Automotive Client: Tier 1 automotive supplier

SCOPE OF SERVICES:

DOOR-TO-DOOR Line Feeding
PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE LOGISTICS REAL ESTATE FACILITY
AUTOMATION AND DIGITALIZATION CONCEPT
INBOUND AND OUTBOUND PROCESSING

SPECIAL FEATURE:

The entire logistics real estate was planned and built by Lila. Collaboration: Long-standing, established, and continuously evolving.

INITIAL SITUATION & CHALLENGE

The client’s goal was to establish a logistics center with a direct connection to production. The requirements included a sustainable, flexible logistics concept that did not interfere with production processes, as well as a reliable Just-in-Time supply system. Additionally, the project had to enable production growth through the optimization of existing logistics space.

THE SOLUTION

A Digital Door-to-Door Line Feeding System

Planning and implementation of a standalone logistics center with a direct connection to production at the site
Establishment of a door-to-door Line Feeding system (planned and built by Lila)
Integration of an automated small-parts warehouse (AKL) as a central component of the logistics concept
Implementation of a WMS (Körber) as a prerequisite and foundation for automated operations
Implementation of a comprehensive automation and digitization strategy for inbound and outbound processing
Implementation of a supplier returnable container program to ensure a structured and reliable supply
Implementation of customized packaging and shipping services as an integral part of the logistics solutions
Continuous adaptation and optimization of key processes throughout the collaboration

THE RESULT

Measurable increases in productivity, quality, and resource utilization

A key milestone was the implementation of the entire automation and digitization concept. Key takeaway: Through continuous optimization and consistent collaboration between the client and the service provider, an ideal logistics setup can be achieved.

Steigerung der Logistikleistung bei gleichzeitiger Reduktion von Logistikflächen und Mitarbeiteranzahl durch Analyse der gesamten Supply Chain und Prozessoptimierungen

Ermöglichung der Erweiterung der Produktionsfläche, ohne zusätzliche Logistikflächen aufzubauen

Deutliche Effizienzsteigerung durch Automatisierungs- und Digitalisierungsansätze sowie real-time Controlling

Messbare Verbesserungen zentraler Kennzahlen - Fläche, Personal, Output - bei laufendem Betrieb

Hohe Prozessstabilität und Qualität durch konsequentes 0-Fehler-Prinzip, getrieben durch OEM-Anforderungen

The fact that we are now achieving higher output with significantly less floor space and fewer employees is the result of a long-term, collaborative partnership with our customer. Key to this success is our consistent focus on automation and digital control in our logistics operations, as well as our continuous adaptation to our customer’s requirements.
