Inventory Management Consulting: Automation for production excellence
Industry: Automotive | Period: 5 months | Team size: 1-2 consultants
More than ever, the production of high-voltage storage modules (HVS modules) faces the challenge of making supply chains transparent and efficient. Unforeseeable fluctuations in the availability of parts, recently exacerbated by global uncertainties, call for new solutions. The complexity of demand planning is particularly high for innovative products such as HVS modules: components must be in the right place at exactly the right time for different model series. Traditional, manual processes are increasingly reaching their limits and jeopardizing business continuity. Together with the customer, we have taken on this challenge in order to significantly improve production reliability and predictability. Through targeted automation and a holistic view of the supply chain, we have fundamentally rethought inventory management. With our solution-oriented approach, we not only increase efficiency – we also create the conditions for resilient, competitive production in the customer’s existing technology landscape.
Challenge: Hurdles to growth - Complex challenges in HVS inventory management
- Manual requirements planning:
High effort due to non-standardized processes leads to susceptibility to errors and production delays. - Reduced responsiveness:
A lack of flexibility makes it difficult to adapt quickly to supply bottlenecks or changes at short notice – with a direct impact on delivery times. - Inefficient user guidance:
A poor UI/UX slows down employees in their day-to-day work, which increases the susceptibility to errors and reduces motivation. - Lack of transparency:
Unclear coordination between different production sites and model series leads to inefficient processes and increases the risk of supply bottlenecks. - Uncertain business continuity:
Increasing complexity in supply chain operations jeopardizes the maintenance of smooth production processes in the long term.
- Manual requirements planning:
