Automotive Inbound and Outbound Logistics
Processes in automobile production are highly optimized down to the smallest detail. Logistics, in particular inbound and outbound logistics, has to be synchronized into these processes to enable a smooth production.
To bring automotive supply logistics and plant logistics into sync, an intelligent system is required that can handle just-in-time planning as well as supply uncertainties inherent in the logistics sector.
Optimized Transport Management
In order to plan their daily hundreds to several thousand truck runs, many companies have established time slot booking platforms and supply control systems. Using intelligent processes to support advanced planning and real-time control accelerates truck throughput and reduces waiting times and demurrage charges.
INFORM offers a complete solution for this, from time slot booking to ramp management, which works with intelligent processes both on a planning and control level. Most German OEM's and many automotive suppliers already benefit from such an optimized inbound and outbound logistics.
