Logistics Excellence

Raise the intrinsic potential of all logistics processes

Logistics firms must be especially elastic in adapting to periods of strongly fluctuating demand from customers, production, or sales. Many areas of logistics increasingly face changing requirements and disturbances such as an overloaded transportation infrastructure, more regulations, new customer demands, and the need to better coordinate activities across the corporation. Confronted with rising requirements and decreasing capacities, it is tough to maintain the same quality of service, let alone raise the standard.

At J&M, we have comprehensive solutions to assess and optimise your logistics and related networks across all relevant processes. We also check the role of logistics in your company from a strategic aspect, and adapt it as deemed appropriate. We can analyse a site and raise its potential by applying yard management techniques to address key issues like in-plant logistics involving plant traffic, slot management, etc.

In the area of intra-logistics, coordinating flows of materials and information across departments can help eliminate inefficiencies in production, warehousing, and shipment. This means focused and controlled use of resources or the application of innovative technologies.

In-depth expertise in logistics and IT

We work with you to come up with an integrated, practical solution. Our end-to-end consulting services ensure that the required degree of foresight is applied to assess the value chain. Our logistics consultants utilise their expertise and knowledge of best practices to solve structural, procedural, and IT related problems. We are a strategic partner of SAP, and stay at the cutting edge of innovation. Hence, we offer solid advice to select, plan, and implement logistics solutions from SAP. These include extended warehouse management (SAP EWM), transportation management (SAP TM), and the RFID software – SAP Auto-ID Enterprise.

We have successfully completed numerous logistics projects that enabled our customers to achieve sustained improvements, by:

  • Restructuring the portfolio of services for warehousing, transportation, redesign of business processes, implementation into a new  SAP system for logistics
  • Redesign of warehousing and shipment processes, replacement of LVS with SAP, including integration of several automated warehouses and paperless logistics processes
  • Optimisation of a pan-European distribution network
  • Redesign of the process and system for integrating logistics providers
  • Introduction of RFID for production logistics using standard software (SAP Auto-ID Infrastructure with full integration in SAP WM)
  • Design and implementation of paperless logistics for production, warehousing, and shipment, plus sector-specific processes in a global SAP template
