PSIglobal analyzes and optimizes warehouse structure at Viessmann on country level
Berlin, 30. August 2023 – Die PSI Logistics GmbH wurde von der Viessmann Logistik International GmbH mit der Lieferung der strategischen Supply Chain Software PSIglobal beauftragt. Damit soll die bisherige Lagerstruktur auf Länderebene aufgrund der erwarteten Marktnachfrage sowie der zur Verfügung stehenden Kapazitäten schrittweise analysiert und optimiert werden.
PSIglobal offers intelligent analysis and optimization functions for location optimization and inventory planning as well to strong network transparency and higher visualization options for decision-making. Additionally, transport costs can be reduced plus an improved service level can be achieved for end customers through optimized locations.
Viessmann Logistik International GmbH decided in favor of the PSI software based on the initial positive experiences from two projects with the Forschungsinstitut für Rationalisierung (Research Institute for Rationalization) (FIR) e. V. at the RWTH Aachen within the partner management. Moreover, the possible module extensions and the accompanying coaching by PSI were decisive. The software acquired in March 2022 has been in use at Viessmann for about a year after a three-month pilot project.
The family-owned company Viessmann was founded in 1917 as a workshop for heating technology and is today a global, broadly diversified group with over 14,500 employees and total sales of around 4 billion euros.
