Project Description

Hilti has a global network of roughly 100 Central Warehouses, 800 retail stores worldwide, 900 van inventory locations with around 300’000 SKUs on on a forecast / central warehouse level.
The entire materials management is managed from 10 regional teams with more than 100 people.
Today we lack a clear approach and benchmarking concept on how to size the regional teams in regard to resources considering effort drivers, service and inventory performance.

Goals of the Project

  • Develop fact based and identify effort drivers
  • Review literature to give a recommendation on a suitable benchmarking concept
  • Assess the state-of-the-art counting methods applied in the industry, and
  • Recommend a modern, digitally based approach for Hilti.

Deliverables

Recommendation on a benchmarking concept considering all influencing factors.
