(BUSINESS WIRE) Seefeld, 9/13/2011, 600,000 job positions, the distribution center from 3M ESPE is facing a year and rising. The transfer of goods distribution and transport services to Seefeld has made the logistics of 3M ESPE products faster and more efficiently while protecting the environment.

Are our processes and systems is still the right ones? Answering this question is for the optimal supply chain is as important as for other divisions. With this conviction took the 3M ESPE their logistics concept to finished goods under the microscope, as Peter Cabell, who led the project with Marco Deiss Beck reported. By shifting the distribution of finished goods at Würzburg Kist back to headquarters in Seefeld, the measure could now be completed.

The former ESPE Dental AG had decided in 1999 to outsource their distribution, a decision that the company saved the construction of a new warehouse: The specialized pharmaceutical logistics provider Movianto GmbH took in his camp Kist goods delivery for ESPE in Europe. "Have now, two factors changed radically," said Cabell, "the one we could halve including the use of lean manufacturing and management methods, our stocks, even though revenue has grown since the former restructuring by more than 100 percent. It also means significant increase in goods movements. Second, the ordering behavior of our customers changed significantly. During the 1999 deliveries to 80 percent were performed on pallets, there are now about 75 percent of packages. "
