Hohe Verwertungskosten durch fehlendes EPR-System für Matratzen
€ millions in annual disposal costs (8M mattresses x avg. €50-100 disposal fee); 95% material loss value (~€200-500/matress in raw materials)Without EPR, ~8 million mattresses/year are contaminated in waste streams, making recycling impossible; 95% incinerated, causing excessive waste disposal fees and lost material value for manufacturers handling returns.
LkSG-Verstöße bei Rohmaterialprüfung
€ up to 2% of annual global revenue per violation[3]In raw material inspection, companies fail to verify human rights and environmental compliance of suppliers, triggering LkSG due diligence obligations. Non-compliance during receiving exposes firms to fines, especially for >1,000 employee companies.
Produktionsausfallzeiten durch manuelle Bestandskontrolle und Engpässe
€90,000–€360,000 annually: 20–40 hours/month × 12 months = 240–480 hours/year of production planning staff time (€30–€50/hour = €7,200–€24,000). Production line idle time during component verification (avg. 5–10 hours/month × €1,000–€2,000/hour line cost) = €60,000–€240,000/year. Lost sales due to delivery delays (2–5% of orders delayed >1 week = 2–5% revenue churn on typical €5M–€10M annual revenue = €100,000–€500,000).Manual inventory processes create production bottlenecks in two ways: (1) Verification Delays—before releasing components to assembly lines, warehouse staff manually verify physical counts against system records. In a typical mattress/blinds facility, this process takes 8–12 hours per week (multiple SKUs, multiple bin locations). (2) Discrepancy Resolution—when counts don't match, production planning halts while staff investigate, recount, and reconcile records. Studies show 40% of manual systems have cycle-count discrepancies requiring 3–5 hours investigation per incident. For a facility with 2–3 incidents/week, this equals 20–40 hours/month of non-billable idle time.
