Logistics location planning: The holistic view of the project?
Logistics planning is about creating a concept for logistics processes and enabling their implementation. A look at the logistics concept is integrated into this planning step so that all partial aspects can be taken into account.
Logistics location planning covers the following individual aspects:
- Processes and structures of all logistical processes
- Specifications of sites, buildings and other facilities
- Analysis of the operating resources and IT systems that can be used
At the beginning of logistics location planning, target values (tasks, objectives) and requirements are defined. This is considered and prioritized together with key business data so that criteria can then be established and actual values integrated. The following analysis includes some variants of possible storage concepts, which are presented for discussion.
A complete logistics location concept includes data on organization and dimensioning, budget and technology deployment as well as a comparison of individual variants.
