Emergency Logistics

Growing customer demands mean that companies are increasingly striving for the highest levels of service at the same time as minimal costs. Loading up engineers’ vehicles with a sufficient quantity of parts would in principle be one way to ensure rapid service. However, this has its disadvantages: not only do the parts become obsolete relatively quickly but this approach also ties up a huge amount of capital. On the other hand, the distances involved mean that it is not possible to supply parts from central warehouses within short time frames of two to four hours. As a result, emergency warehouses (field stock locations (FSL)) with good customer proximity and stocks of all the necessary parts are the optimum solution for meeting requirements at extremely short notice. Thanks to a sophisticated emergency logistics strategy, which also incorporates the Night-Time-Express service, LPR can provide its customers with quick and reliable responses in urgent situations. A tiered concept ensures that the various service level requirements can be met. Outstanding flexibility when selecting delivery intervals, from same-day delivery options to a two-hour delivery service using professional couriers, makes the LPR emergency service a reliable and cost-effective safety net for your logistical challenges in emergencies and exceptional circumstances. The standardised stock management of all decentralised warehouses in our central SAP system plays a major part in the impressive transparency and efficiency of the LPR emergency logistics. On request, items can also be directly posted in our customers’ warehousing systems.
