Podcast episode 12: Transport-related warehousing

Just-in-time and just-in-sequence – for a long time, these control concepts originating from the automotive industry were decisive for logistics; demand-synchronised production with low capital commitment was the declared goal for companies. But then came the pandemic with its lockdowns, Brexit, the Ukraine war and events such as the blockade of the Suez Canal, which really upset global supply chains that had existed for years. Consequently, raw material shortages, delivery delays and exponentially increased costs created unprecedented challenges in the global economy.

To remain competitive, it is necessary to rethink and find solutions – transport-related warehousing, or TRW for short, can help companies maintain production despite disrupted supply chains and thus find a way out of the crisis. In the new episode of ‘Logistics People Talk’, the company podcast of the Rhenus Group, Uwe Karrenberg, Managing Director at LOXX Lagerlogistik, a company within the Rhenus Group, explains exactly how this works and how TRW differs from classic contract logistics. He provides exciting insights into the benefits of transport-related warehousing for customers and takes listeners to the scene of the action: the distribution centre in Gelsenkirchen.
