Context

Logística de Produto Acabado na indústria química

  • Chemical Industry

  • High volume of finished goods flowing between two plants and their respective warehouses

  • Over 300 lorries per year and 900 hours of double-handling in the warehouse

  • Unstable planning across the two plants


Problem

  • Customer/Product data updated infrequently

  • Changes to the delivery address

  • Unclear process and ownership

Approach

  • Process mapping and redesign

  • Correction of product-to-customer allocation tables

  • Definition of updating method and frequency

  • Definition of dispatch criteria (from which factory to which customers)

  • New model for optimising the distribution of finished products

Results

  • Savings of EUR 200,000 on finished product logistics (transport, handling, stock)

  • 100 lorries less and 300 hours saved in the first phase

  • Reduction of 300 tonnes in stock

  • Decrease of 100 tonnes in CO₂ emissions
