Global beverage leader boosts peak capacity

Challenge

• Assessing new warehouse layouts: Carlsberg needed warehouse layouts and routing that ensured safety, efficiency and best practices across its global footprint.
• Increasing capacity during peak periods: adding peak period capacity to retain global customer service levels–while reducing costs associated with staff and material handling.
• Testing new ideas effectively: testing new ideas with cumbersome, time-consuming methods–spreadsheets and drawing programs–produced 2D visuals that failed to communicate vision, cost benefits and return on investment.
  

Solution

• Simulating optimal warehouse layouts: Infios's Warehouse Design and Simulation tool enabled Carlsberg to simulate and select layouts that improved productivity and KPIs in global warehouses and bottle yards.
• Meeting demand with capacity and design: CLASS-modeled changes to create one-way aisles during peak periods, allowing for increased speed limits, reduced aisle widths and increased overall capacity.
• Visualizing best practices to overcome change resistance: visuals of best practice packing for pallets and containers combined with an engaging  solution to standardize global supply chain execution, best design for warehouse efficiency and safety, more capacity during peak periods.
