Projects
Project examples from supply chain, logistics and WMS.
Advanum mandates, each described the same way: the situation, the services involved and the result. Client names and figures are withheld by agreement, the substance is not.
Logistics provider implementation alongside an SAP EWM rollout
A logistics service provider was being onboarded while SAP EWM went live in parallel: provider, client and system integrator were working to three separate plans. Advanum took over project steering at a late stage, consolidated the plans into one schedule, aligned interfaces and cutover sequence, developed the test strategy and test cases, and reworked the target processes for the new operating model.
Services involved
- Project steering
- Go-live structuring
- Test planning
- Process adjustment
- Provider steering
Result
The go-live ran on one integrated plan. Test coverage, adjusted processes and a single escalation path were in place before cutover.
WMS selection across sites, countries and continents
One warehouse management system had to fit sites in several countries and on several continents. Advanum documented the target processes, derived a testable requirements catalog including volume structure and special cases, built the evaluation model and ran RFI and RFP through to the award of technology partner and implementation partner.
Services involved
- Target processes
- Requirements definition
- WMS selection
- Award
Result
One requirements baseline for all sites, a traceable vendor comparison and a documented award decision.
Planning a battery warehouse
An OEM required a dedicated warehouse for battery storage. Advanum developed the process, layout and technology concept: material flow, storage and retrieval strategy, space and capacity requirement, warehouse technology and staffing were dimensioned against the target volumes.
Services involved
- Process planning
- Layout planning
- Warehouse technology
Result
A coordinated warehouse concept — processes, layout and technology — as the basis for implementation planning and the investment decision.
Restructuring two sites during an interim mandate
In an interim mandate, Advanum led the restructuring of two sites for a furniture e-commerce operator. The mandate covered process redesign, organizational structure and staffing model at both sites, and in parallel the selection and award of a new warehouse management system.
Services involved
- Interim role
- Site restructuring
- WMS selection and award
- Organization and staffing
Result
Two sites with redesigned processes and a new organizational structure, a warehouse management system under contract, and the leadership role handed back to the client's own team.
Clearance, transit and import processes across two regions
Across the Middle East and East Africa, clearance, transit and import handling was slow and tied up capital. Advanum analyzed the end-to-end process chain, redesigned clearance and transit handling with the local parties, and reworked the documentation and approval steps that kept capital bound.
Services involved
- Process analysis
- Clearance and transit
- Import processes
- Cash flow
Result
Shorter clearance and transit times — and an improved cash flow along the import chain.
