Success Story
Mechanical Engineering
Transforming the supply chain by synchronizing performance and demand
Mission
Our customer is world market leader in a mechanical engineering segment for complete plant constructions and installation. The challenge to be addressed was the synchronization on all stages of component production and manufacturing with the installation performance, starting from 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 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 implementation of the digital twin for integrated and detailed scenario planning leads in the areas of project realization to
Throughput time reduction from 65 days to 10 days
Inventory: - 50%
Productivity: + 24%
Delivery reliability: 98%
ROI of the project < 8 months
