More efficient production planning
Logio partnered with Thermo King to redesign production planning and material ordering processes and to embed the new way of working into the company’s information systems and reporting.
Outcome
Together we defined a future state for planning and purchasing, translated it into system changes and a concrete action plan, and created reporting that supports day‑to‑day control and strategic supplier evaluation. This enables Thermo King to reduce planner workload, lower stock levels, shorten lead times, and improve material flow visibility across production.

Initial challenge
Thermo King wanted to increase efficiency not only in the final product but also in the entire production process. The company needed to improve the way production is planned and how material is ordered and supplied to the lines.
Project goal
The goal was to set up robust production planning and material ordering processes, link them to the information system and reporting, and provide a clear action plan that would lead to higher efficiency, lower stock, and smoother material flow in production.
Solution
From process map to system supported planning
Logio acted as an expert partner for production planning and material supply, mapping the current processes, designing an optimal future state, and integrating the required changes into Thermo King’s information system and reporting.

Impact
Efficient planning, leaner stocks, smoother material flow
More efficient production planning
New processes and system support reduce planner workload and increase the quality and stability of production plans.
Optimized purchasing and material supply
Clear rules for ordering from suppliers help streamline the entire purchasing process and ensure timely material availability for production.
Lower inventory in production supply
Better alignment between planning, ordering, and material flow enables a reduction in stock levels without increasing risk of shortages.
Shorter production lead times
Improved coordination of planning and material delivery shortens the time from order to finished product.
Higher transparency and control
Tailored reporting provides a clear view of the whole process and supports decisions at both operational and management level.
Stronger basis for supplier strategy
Structured data and reports give Thermo King the inputs needed to evaluate supplier performance and develop long term cooperation.

Production planning optimization for Modus
We simplified Modus’s production by cutting the number of semi‑finished variants and reducing production phases, which shortened throughput and improved planning reliability.
−70% semi‑finished variants
Fewer production phases
Lead time reduced
