Simulationsbasierte Analyse eines innerbetrieblichen digitalisierten Milk Run Systems

Abstract

Consumables required in the production process must be provided in sufficient quantities at all times. When providing consumables at the workplace, it is important to avoid waste and to make the flow as efficient as possible. Accordingly, this paper examines the introduction of a digitalized milk run system in combination with eKanban. With the development of a simulation model, the concept of the system is illustrated and the effects of the introduction of such a digitalized system are examined and discussed on the basis of corresponding KPIs.
