thyssenkrupp Elevator launches spare parts warehouse in Pune

thyssenkrupp Elevator has launched its first central spare parts warehouse in Pune, India. The new-state-of-the art facility will further improve services for customers operating in domestic and neighboring markets. As a single management and storage point, Indian Technological Warehouse in Chakan, Pune, aims at maintaining total availability of all spare parts for their operators, optimizing their logistics through analysis and processing of data collected in real time. The warehouse operations will later be integrated with ERP Warehouse Management model for optimized inventory management and logistics processes, stated Manish Mehan, CEO, thyssenkrupp Elevator (India). The urban mobility multinational will thus provide a simple and effective solution to minimize downtimes of defunct elevators by ensuring round-the-clock availability of spare parts and distributing them just in time to its service technicians. As a result, there will be a 10% saving per year in the number of trips made by technicians to pick up components at their local office between jobs. In addition, there will be a 20% optimization in waiting time for the customers until the elevator is put back into service – simply because technicians will have the spare part at their disposal immediately. With a total surface area of 10,000 sq-ft, the new warehouse holds over 5000 different parts and components. In addition, it has the capacity to handle more than 10,000 orders per year. With this new project thyssenkrupp aims to reduce the environmental impact and promote a more sustainable supply chain. thyssenkrupp Elevator promotes interoperability and efficiency by eliminating unnecessary number of journeys for the shipment of components.
