3M Jüchen Case Study
May 6,
2004
Implementation of New Logistics Systems During
Ongoing Operation
In the e-business market, the fast and productive
order-picking of small quantities is decisive
for a company’s
success. The 3M Group has set new standards with
the construction of this first fully automated
warehouse
worldwide. Throughput times have been reduced
from two to one day, order lines to be handled
have been doubled
from 5,000 to 10,000 per day, and storage capacity
has been increased from 40,000 to 60,000 pallet
storage
locations. With SSI Schäfer Noell’s
logistics concept even small volumes of the product
line consisting of
about 20,000 items can be delivered promptly.
All extension buildings and the new tray storage
system were completed within the record time of
twelve months as requested by the customer at
the outset.
