Titel
Study on (re-) designing CKD-processes of automotive supply chain
Abstract
This paper deals with research on (re-)designing CKD logistics processes of automotive supply chain. The standard requirements of operational process improvements can be analyzed, supported by software tools OTD-Net and LogiChain developed in the Fraunhofer-IML (Dortmund, Germany). For analyzing the whole supply chain (net) including the countries of origin and destination a scalable modelbased approach is proposed. Starting from modified CKD-strategies the cost impact can be estimated along the whole chain. Therefore this approach offers the identification of cost drivers for each pre-defined supply chain module. All processes like loading/ unloading, repacking, container loading and warehousing arc involved. The model allows the impact analysis of individual variables and the optimization of the CKD-process.
