Continuing globalisation is leading worldwide to logistics networks with increasingly complex structures. Sustainable and economic factors are at the forefront of the organisation and optimisation of these networks. METROPLAN LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT is well aware of this development, and supports its customers on both the local and global level.


The creation of flexible structures even in the face of changing requirements ensures sustainability. With the aid of different scenarios, we can review and assess the feasibility and commercial viability of such structures. In terms of logistics, for example, this can lead to cooperations, organised in accordance with existing contracts, in order to ensure optimum efficiency in conjunction with maximum flexibility.

• In the specialised field of logistics networks, our services include logistics cooperations,
• optimisation of logistics networks, and
• logistics optimisation.

To improve cost structures in logistics, it may be advantageous to enter into cooperations with other companies. To realise such logistics cooperations, suitable companies and common areas of activity, such as purchasing, warehousing and transport, must be defined in advance.

METROPLAN LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT supports its customers in the definition and verification of potential logistics cooperations. This definition includes the specification of the cooperation services, as well as the search for suitable strategic cooperation partners and partners for the physical implementation of the logistics cooperation, such as logistics service providers, purchasing partners, etc.

The organisation and structure of the functions, processes and task distribution within the logistics network is essential to a company’s success, and optimisation of the logistics network has a significant effect on that success. With respect to logistics costs and service quality in particular, efficient organisation of the logistics network in line with existing requirements is becoming increasingly important.

The range of services offered by METROPLAN LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT in the area of logistics network optimisation includes:

• Optimisation of the logistics network through centralised or decentralised warehouse management
• Distribution of spare parts or finished goods stocks across several locations, with simultaneous assurance of the required supply reliability
• Cooperations with several logistics service providers
• Development of process standards and transparency between warehouse and production
• Integration and optimisation of production supply and disposal, as well as reverse logistics

Companies can achieve significant cost benefits by lowering logistics costs while optimising their logistics systems at the same time. To realise sustainable cost effects, METROPLAN LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT identifies and analyses existing weak points and optimisation potentials in the logistics chain. In addition to redesigning logistics processes and providing support with regard to the related decisions concerning insourcing or outsourcing, our tasks also include the reduction of working capital and capital assets.
