Project:
Audi AG – Simulation of logistics transport

Service period:
2012 – 2012

Project client:
Audi AG

Project description

For 2014, it was planned to produce an additional series in the Audi factory in Ingolstadt.

This resulted in a diversification of the parts used.

This in turn led to increased logistics transport within the factory.

Even at the time, the capacities available at various points in the network, were almost exhausted, and disruptions frequently occurred, which were only eliminated relatively slowly.

In the course of a weak point analysis, the logistics transport was mapped.
