11. Case Study: Kimberly Clarke - Australia
The Brief Streamline Kimberly Clarke’s supply chain from
start to finish by designing the entire materials
storage and distribution handling solution.
The Solution • RDS (Real-time Distribution System)
• Integrated with the client’s other systems;
SAP-ERP, a custom-developed RORO (Roll On,
Roll Off) system, a Vehicle Scheduling system
(TMS), and a SSCC Pallet Label
printing/application system retro-fitted into
the company’s production lines.
• The physical hub of the solution is an
Automated Storage and Retrieval System
(ASRS)
“The system now gives us such a detailed level of information that they are
making micro-adjustments all the time to get the most out of it” Jeff
Steadman National Distribution Centre Manager
12. Case Study: Linfox Kellogg’s - Australia
The Brief Manage the distribution centre processes with less
manual involvement and more automation,
capable of managing product 24 hours a day 7 days
a week.
The Solution • ASRS enables pallets to be stored in five aisles,
six-pallets-deep on either side.
• Each aisle is serviced by its own automated
crane.
• The ASRS can put away up to 90 pallets per
hour and retrieve 120 pallets per hour.
• A unique feature of the system is the Real-time
Distribution System (RDS) which is the
command and control centre. The RDS drives
the ASRS from a logical viewpoint and
interfaces with the Linfox warehouse
management system, which in turn
communicates with the Kellogg's ERP system.
Linfox has experienced about a 10% reduction in pick error rate with the new system, and product damage has reduced by 85%.
