Kapazitätsverluste durch manuelle Routenplanung
10-20% lost capacity (€50,000-€200,000 annually for mid-size plant based on 2-5% industry revenue equivalent)Manual routing in custom furniture production causes idle equipment and queues, especially with batch size 1 and just-in-time principles, leading to capacity underutilization.
Produktionsausfallzeiten durch manuelle Bestandszählungen
40–80 hours/month of lost production capacity; €30,000–€60,000 annually (at €50/hour fully-loaded labor cost in Germany); 2–5% risk of missed customer shipment deadlinesCycle counting requires physical access to inventory areas, which temporarily blocks material handlers, forklift operators, and pickers. A typical cycle count (2–4 hours) affects 3–5 staff members, creating ripple delays in production schedules. In furniture manufacturing, where lead times are tight and customer deadlines strict, a 2-hour count delay can push back shipments by 1–2 days.
Kostenüberschreitungen durch Fehlplanung
€10-30/hour overtime per employee + 2-5% material waste (€20,000-€100,000/year)Manual processes lead to mistakes in order conversion and scheduling, causing waste and delays as seen in automation case studies.
Kundenabwanderung durch Lieferverzögerungen
2-5% revenue churn (€100,000+ annually for €5M firm)Manual processes extend lead times, leading to lost sales, contrasting with digital implementations that cut delivery times.
