Description of the assignment:
As a Spare Parts Logistics department one of the options we offer to our customers is consolidated order flow. If a customer is set-up as a consolidation customer, this means that when items arrive to our warehouse, items will be shipped out at regular intervals independent of the specific order number. This flow has several benefits both for the customers but also reduces inefficiencies in the Logistics department.
In this assignment we want to investigate how we can make more use of the consolidated order flow.
This assignment could be tackled as an implementation project or a DMAIC project. You will not only make an plan but will also have a chance to implement it and see the results.
