The value of production logistics

At FlexLink, we define it like this:

Production logistics = Management of material and information flows in a production process

• Management of material flow ensures that the right material is distributed to the right machine and workstation, in the right quantity and quality, at the right time.

• Management of information flow controls the process and product data through the production processes, provides process statistics and facilitates automatic QA.

Standardization of the material and information flow streamlines and controls the flow through the value-adding processes and minimizes waste. This is valid in manual as well as automated work processes. As a result, you will get a production system that is easy to control with a balanced flow and strict control of the products through each process step.

Production logistics provides the resource to achieve improved total efficiency by means of production and capital efficiency, and delivering the right products in time.
