FROM LOGISTICS PLANNING TO START-UP MANAGEMENT
Professional market development and production ramp-up includes the planning of logistics in Eastern Europe. We develop innovative strategies for the procurement and distribution logistics, and handle the planning of the logistics in Eastern Europe with the aid of our certified 4P-METROPLAN phase concept ©
Phase I – “Confirm the economic viability of the logistics processes, network and facility”
The METROPLAN “Globalisation Cockpit©” is used to select the products and services for the logistics in Eastern Europe. METROPLAN has particular expertise in the computer-assisted optimisation of Eastern European networks and the material flow simulation, which ensures the correct planning of the logistics processes. The investment and economic efficiency calculations form the basis for the business and realisation plan, taking into account the optimum location selection.
Phase II – “Plan the logistics location”
The suitable property or rental property is selected, the company foundation is organised and the investment subsidies, etc. are obtained. The logistics concept is then established, and the complete building approval and permit process organised, including the environmental impact statement.
Phase III – “Realise the logistics location”
Tender processes are carried out, suppliers and service providers selected, and contracts are drawn up with the assistance of German and Eastern European attorneys and then concluded by customers. Our multiservice package also includes the recruitment of specialist and management personnel. Our project management for the infrastructure development ensures the completion of the logistics facility in line with the specified schedule, quality and budget.
Phase IV – “Organise the start-up of the logistics network”
Guarantee procedures, maintenance and service of the systems are organised, the logistics network start-up and productivity improvements are supported, the continuous improvement process is initiated and training in lean management and lean logistics methods is provided.
The process for planning and realising the ideal service centres in Eastern Europe is analogous to the procedure used for the logistics planning.
Range of services and methods:
- General planning and realisation of logistics locations
- Project management of logistics centres
- Planning of buildings, including compilation of the approval, permit and tender documents
