Project details

date 2019-06
  • 3 x Kardex Shuttle XP 500
  • 65 trays filled (3650 x 864)
  • 1241 different parts
  • 1397 containers + extra replenishment
  • Vertical space used: 15675 mm

Having recently experienced rapid growth, the company decided to create more warehouse surface area and install new systems in order to shorten the throughput time. Mark van Riet, supply chain project manager: “We briefly considered filling those systems ourselves within a timeframe of 10 working days. That would require very strict order picking planning in order to avoid production downtime. However, it soon became clear that Jan could get the job
done much faster and had vastly superior expertise in getting maximum results from the systems. We found that out
the hard way: through a decision of our own – which Jan had advised against because of the ramifications – a system
temporarily functioned more slowly than we had hoped. In the end, filling the warehouse systems took a day and a
half. That’s mainly because Jan had really thought it through with us and proved highly flexible. We were also able to
reach him on weekends. Everything he provided to us was clear and high-quality. I would certainly recommend his
services.” went without a hitch.”
