DACHSER services for your production supply
Buffer warehouses, near-plant locations and sequencing depots keep materials close to manufacturing. Quantities, inventory and availability times are aligned with your requirements.
Regular shuttle services bring materials from the warehouse to the plant according to the production rhythm, required quantities and variants.
Picking, consolidation, packing and further Value Added Services prepare materials according to production requirements.
We continuously analyse consumption, inventory and replenishment movements so bottlenecks can be identified and supply processes adjusted.
Your network for reliable production logistics
Road transport for smooth supply runs
Daily scheduled services in the European DACHSER network connect warehouse locations, suppliers and production plants. Frequencies and capacities can be adapted to series requirements, ramp-up phases and fluctuating volumes.
Warehousing and value-added services
Near-plant warehouse space shortens the distances to production and enables consumption-based provision of materials. Additional Value-Added Services can be integrated directly at the warehouse location.
Global supply chains
We link Road Logistics with Air & Sea Logistics and integrate international suppliers and pre-carriage into near-plant supply. This means that global material flows can also be organised right through to the production site.

Frequently asked questions about production logistics and plant logistics
What does production logistics and plant logistics include?
Production logistics and plant logistics cover all processes that move materials from a warehouse or supplier to manufacturing. These include near-plant warehouses, shuttle services, production line supply, inventory monitoring and comprehensive Value Added Services. Tasks range from providing individual components to coordinating complete replenishment processes.
What are the objectives of production logistics?
The main objectives are reliable material supply, consumption-based inventory and predictable replenishment processes. Manufacturing should also be able to respond flexibly to fluctuating volumes, production launches and changes to manufacturing programmes.
What are the advantages of near-plant warehouse locations?
Near-plant warehouses shorten the distance between storage and manufacturing. Materials can be held closer to the point of consumption and provided according to demand, making alignment with production programmes easier and reducing short-notice transport within the supply chain.
What role does data play in production logistics?
Consumption data, inventory and material movements show how actual demand is developing. Continuous analysis makes it possible to identify bottlenecks earlier, optimise replenishment cycles and compare different supply scenarios.
Can DACHSER take over individual production logistics tasks?
Services can be combined according to the production structure and requirements. Options include near-plant warehousing, shuttle services, picking, packing and material flow coordination. The specific processes handled by DACHSER are defined for each location and existing operation.
Is production logistics suitable for fluctuating production volumes?
Yes. As material demand increases or decreases, inventory, shuttle frequencies and provision quantities can be adjusted. Manufacturing therefore receives the required materials during peaks, production launches or short-notice changes without maintaining permanently excessive capacity.
