Jürgen Gutekunst
CEO RENA
"Thanks to the delivery time classes for our main products, which have been defined and implemented as part of the project, our sales staff can quickly provide the customer with a reliable delivery time in the offer phase. This is possible thanks to the structured schedule and the now optimized process and material flow."
Markus Hummel
Manager Logistics RENA
“With the cross-location adjustment of material management and material flow, clear responsibilities and interfaces were defined. The consequent realignment in this area brings us lower inventories today with higher inventory security and material availability - an important basis for the further reduction of our lead times”
