Reduction in <strong>distribution</strong> costs thanks to four<br />

central <strong>distribution</strong> <strong>centers</strong> <strong>for</strong> all of Germany<br />

In order to bring <strong>the</strong> different Nestlé <strong>food</strong> brands<br />

promptly and efficiently from <strong>the</strong> many production<br />

facilities to consumers all across Germany,<br />

<strong>SSI</strong> Schäfer was assigned <strong>the</strong> task of reorganizing<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>distribution</strong> of goods.<br />

Initial situation: 19 plant warehouses, 33 off-premise<br />

warehouses, and 12 regional <strong>distribution</strong> <strong>centers</strong><br />

with out-of-stock situations required frequent supply<br />

transports.<br />

A reserve inventory <strong>for</strong> some two weeks and a total<br />

inventory of 370,000 pallets necessitated a completely<br />

new logistics concept. Three <strong>distribution</strong> <strong>centers</strong><br />

of partner <strong>for</strong>warders are supplied from <strong>the</strong> different<br />

plants and deliver <strong>food</strong>stuffs to hubs or directly to<br />

grocery stores.<br />

The high per<strong>for</strong>mance is achieved by double-deep<br />

storage in <strong>the</strong> HBW, <strong>the</strong> automatic material transport<br />

system in <strong>the</strong> order-picking area, and, last but<br />

not least, by <strong>the</strong> warehouse management system.<br />
