Logistics planning

As Volkswagen Group Services GmbH,we independently carry out logistics planning analyses, optimisations and redesign logistics processes for our customers in the Volkswagen Group,   We work closely with the interface areas and create integrated logistics concepts which we implement when awarding contracts for the client. The planning of logistical processes is based on a detailed database, which we collect and analyse to guarantee innovative processes. Through the application of simulation methods and the use of appropriate display tools, problem areas can be identified and adapted accordingly. For clarification, for example, individual hall sections, industrial trucks, conveyor technology and processes are presented realistically and systematically.

Our portfolio also includes the creation of process analyses. In particular, we use the MTM (Methods-Time Measurement) method, which enables us to evaluate the ergonomics of the workstations in addition to the time recording of workloads. This also includes the determination of requirements for personnel to be deployed, logistics-specific equipment, space and IT systems. Based on the requirements, we can provide our customers with meaningful information for investment calculations and prepare requirement specifications and tender documents on our own responsibility.
