Opportunities​
ERIKS has defined a clear supply chain strategy and roadmap for 2017-2025.

  • Performed 3 retrofit studies for Capelle, Rijnmond and Alkmaar (analyzed different logistic concepts) with a final layout, Capex, FTE and Opex budget.​
  • Performed all needed analysis to complete the IP calculations from a logistic perspective (FTE moves because of closing locations, cost impact of product moves, investments, etc.).​

Benefits​

  • Based on all performed analysis and discussions a good investment proposal with a very positive business case was presented to the board and investors.​
  • With this new supply chain network Eriks is ready for the future with a cost effective supply chain.​
