Lufthansa Cargo has implemented the production planning and control (PPC) transformation project to maximize capacity of workstations and improve the flow of freight and cargo through the main hub in Frankfurt. It supports the cargo airline to spread the workload better between peak and off-peak hours, which increases average employee productivity and workstation utilization.
Based on DELMIA Quintiq -part of Dassault Systèmes- software and Ab Ovo’s industry expertise, the cargo airline implemented a production planning application as one element of the PPC system. Increasing planning quality and visibility with smart algorithms and KPI based planning, allows Lufthansa Cargo to handle more cargo in the same facilities with better on-time performance, making it both a booster for efficiency as well as customer satisfaction.
The new production planning system assists the planners in scheduling the break-down of incoming cargo and the build-up of outgoing freight for onward transport by truck or flight. The performance of the hub is crucial for the global Lufthansa Cargo supply chain as approximately 80 percent of all transit cargo flows through Frankfurt.
