Challenges

Carlsberg's supply chain network is managed in-house by Carlsberg Supply Company (CSC), responsible for assessing new warehouse layouts and best practices. CSC needed to assess new layouts for its warehouse operations, including Carlsberg specific layouts in their bottle yards ensuring optimum efficiency across all operations. They wanted to create best-practice.

Solution and Benefits

Using Infios’s Warehouse Modeling & Simulation software (CLASS), the team were able to easily simulate different layouts for its warehouses and bottle yards; selecting the optimum designs to ensure it met its project goals and improved on KPIs such as productivity.

One of the most valuable benefits the team at CSC found by implementing CLASS is their ability to challenge reluctance to change. By assessing models of their warehouses, the team is better equipped to ask pertinent questions about the use of space and make suggestions for improvement.
