Experience in planning, implementation and operation.

Tidira represents Materials Management in the planning of a new pharmaceutical production building, coordinating logistics requirements with the other planning disciplines.

Storage, sampling, dispensing, production supply and waste need defined routes and space. Temperature conditions, container identity and material status also determine when and how a movement can take place.

I have prepared a logistics concept, material-flow and room-adjacency diagrams, and an equipment list. These are working documents for coordination with architecture, process engineering and IT.

Tidira is preparing the tender for palletising and mobile transport, working within an engineering partner's project team.

Palletising, mobile transport and existing production systems have to operate as one process. Supplier offers need to cover the same operating conditions and clearly define the work each party will deliver.

I specify supply packages, performance requirements, physical and software interfaces, and how suppliers must explain their prices and deviations. The tender draft provides a common basis for the later comparison of offers.

Tidira is developing the target process from goods receipt through picking and packing to dispatch in an existing warehouse.

Initial site observations found unprocessed receipts, loads awaiting clarification and already-received goods standing close together. It was not consistently visible whether processing, clarification or onward transport was still required.

I combine observations from the site with operating records and examine how the required processes should be represented in the existing warehouse software. Initial findings have been presented to the client; the detailed process and layout concept is being developed.
