Mission

Our customer is market leader for complete vehicle carwash plant construction and installation. The challenge to be addressed was the synchronization of component production and manufacturing on all stages with the installation performance based on real customer needs, in real time. Target was to decrease stock and increase OTIF substantially.

Solution and Work Process

The project includes process analysis, data analysis and design of To-Be Supply Chain Model for full customer pull. On this specification following applications have been realized.

• Implementation of a customized application for the detailed simulation based planning of the main assembly

• Implementation of a customized installation planning and site preparation application digitizing the workflow and capacity planning

• Implementation of the module for synchronized capacity and material planning on all supply chain steps. This enables   internal and external capacities to be aligned in real time before entering into production.

Results

The realization of the Digital Twin for integrated and detailed scenario planning leads to

• Throughput time reduction from 65 days to 10 days

• Inventory: - 50 %

• Productivity: + 24 %

• Delivery reliability: 98 %

• ROI of the project < 8 months
