Mission accomplished Numerous synergy effects (inventory, logistics, transport) through the combination of Convenience Logistics and Store Business, and the resulting cost savings Logistical handling of different product groups (dry, fresh, temperaturecontrolled) in one system Supply to different distribution channels (store, convenience, wholesale logistics) from one logistics center Page: 21
Mission accomplished Volume share dry goods Volume share fresh goods Volume volatility Friday = 2 x Wednesday / before holidays factor 4 Consolidation of stored goods with flow-through items SKU dynamics Promo dynamics Page: 22
Mission accomplished Page: 23
Mission accomplished Supply of 600+ Migros stores and 300 migrolino shops with some 433,000 store-friendly and error-free picked cases and pick units on a peak day Significant drop in customer complaints and returns (59%) The self control and optimization of the system ensures shorter throughput times. Thus, customer service is increased as customers are able to order various product ranges up to 08:30 AM on the picking day. The stores need to be supplied once a day only. Value Added Services such as - Anti-theft devices - Content list - RFID tracking - Individual weight products including coding and invoicing Page: 24
Mission accomplished in the distribution center High level of employee satisfaction due to ergonomic workstations and various tasks Reduced workload due to optimal interaction between leading-edge IT functionalities and highly dynamic mechanical elements Significant increase of the pick performance (factor 3 compared to a manual warehouse) due to highly dynamic and automated solutions 95% of the product range can be picked without human intervention in the stores Optimal and error free supply quality correct, complete delivery elimination of QA Significantly easier and faster storage of goods due to store-friendly and shelf-friendly picked transport units for the consumer High quality in terms of presentation and freshness of goods Optimal product range Minimization of stock-outs Page: 25
Mission accomplished The focus is a holistic and intelligent end-to-end connection of different distribution channels, clients, product ranges, and temperature zones Thus, the quality, productivity, and flexibility of all logistical services for both the Convenience Logistics and the Store Business have been sustainably increased Page: 26
