Customers about us:

Johannes ThalerVice President Supply Chain Management - Swarovski Optik AG & Co KG.

The initial situation at SOA was that the future growth targets, coupled with the existing production areas, were reaching their capacity limits. Furthermore, intralogistics is labor and space-intensive, which limits the technical possibilities.

Three key points were set as project objectives:

Comprehensive logistics concept (raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods)
Transformation to automation
Space efficiency within the logistics processes

The role of SCM PLUS was to work out the above objectives with the project team and the system providers in both the concept and detailed planning stages and, based on this, to create a basis for decision-making for the advisory board and the management board of SWAROVSKI OPTIK. SCM PLUS was also able to solve and implement very complex and difficult structural requirements to the full satisfaction of the customer in its role as a consulting company.

SCM PLUS was able to provide enormous ADDED VALUE for the project and SWAROVSKI OPTIK through stringent project management and a high level of technical and social competence.

Looking back, we at SWAROVSKI OPTIK can say a heartfelt THANK YOU and look forward to the future together in the realization phase and beyond.
