DISKOVER
Version 4.0 of Diskover, the strategic scheduling system designed by Herzogenrath-based Abels & Kemmner GmbH for medium-sized wholesalers and series and variant manufacturers, is now also available as an operational management system for optimizing the supply chain from purchasing to delivery.
It is characterized by extensive selection mechanisms for daily planning as well as by its portfolio analysis and simulation functions. In addition, Diskover also offers distribution-free disposition procedures. According to Abels & Kemmner, Diskover in its current evaluated version 4.0 is fully executable as an add-on tool under SAP and all common ERP, PPS and merchandise management systems. According to the manufacturer, its use is generally worthwhile from an average stock value of around 5 to 10 million DM.
With Diskover, Abels & Kemmner has achieved two contradictory goals for 34 companies to date: They increase the level of delivery readiness and reduce stock levels at the same time. 82% of the companies were able to save at least 15%, 32% were even able to save more than 25%. The largest cluster with 43 % of companies saved between 20 and 25 %.
