The Premium Service "Material flow optimization" consists of three modules which build upon each other and which can be ordered individually:
Module 1:
Determination of optimization potential through analysis by experts
- One-day workshop to analyze the intralogistics with the objective of gaining an overview of the logistics processes and determination of potentials for optimization
- Participants: Siemens experts and representatives of the client with profound specialized knowledge
- Submission of a catalog of questions and a list of required data to the client for preparation of the workshop
- Systematic discussion of the logistics processes with the client's experts
- Result: Workshop documentation with evaluation of the optimization potential, and specific recommendations for further actions
Module 2:
Preparation of a feasibility study
- Intensive investigation of the optimization options determined in Module 1 and elaboration of specific implementation measures
- Participants: Siemens experts and representatives of the client
- Exploration of plant layout and process procedures, optionally with support by simulation programs such as INOSIM or PLANT SIMULATION
- Possibly recording of further data in the client's plant depending on the optimization approach
- Result: Detailed documentation of the recommended implementation measures with:
- Assessment of the optimization potential
- Approximate estimate of costs (accuracy ± 25%)
- Basic deadlines for implementation of measures
Module 3:
Implementation of the produced feasibility study
- Implementation of the knowledge gained in Modules 1 and 2
- Content is the subject of an individual agreement between client and contractor
- Basis for the individual agreement is a project-specific quotation provided by Siemens as the contractor
- Inquiries for production of a quotation should be directed to the address specified under "Further information"
Note:
The modules of the Premium Service "Material flow optimization" do not include any traveling expenses. Traveling expenses from the Hoechst Industrial Estate, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, will be invoiced separately.
