Thyssenkrupp Elevator sets up its first central spare parts warehouse in India
Enabling round-the-clock availability of elevator spare parts in South-East Asia
The urban mobility multinational thus provides a simple and effective solution to minimize downtimes of defunct elevators by ensuring round-the-clock availability of spare parts and distributing them just in time to its service technicians. As a result, there is a 10% saving per year in the number of trips made by technicians to pick up components at their local office between jobs. In addition, there will be a 20% optimization in waiting time for the customer until the elevator is put back into service – simply because technicians will have the spare part at their disposal immediately.
With a total surface area of 10,000 sq. ft., the new warehouse in Pune holds up to over 5000 different parts and components for maintenance service. In addition, it has the capacity to handle more than 10,000 orders per year.
Sustainability a key priority
“With this new project ThyssenKrupp aims to reduce the environmental impact and promote a more sustainable supply chain. ThyssenKrupp Elevator promotes interoperability and efficiency by eliminating an unnecessary number of journeys for the shipment of components”, concluded Mr. Mehan
