Case Study: NGK Spark Plugs reduces cycle times with Ehrhardt + Partner LFS

Warehouse Management System LFS thus skips the spark

NGK Spark Plug Europe GmbH needed to replace its warehouse software during live operations while supporting Europe-wide just-in-time delivery at low cost. The company also wanted more transparency, speed, and accuracy in its central warehouse in Ratingen, where it ran two separately controlled logistics areas.

Ehrhardt + Partner implemented the LFS warehouse management system, along with multi order picking and the TLS transport control system, to manage workflows across both logistics areas. With Ehrhardt + Partner, NGK reduced cycle times by 50% and increased picking numbers by 30%, while also gaining cost, time, and quality advantages and reducing empty trips and transport routes.
