Logistics · Production · ERP
Operating concepts and business cases for warehouse and production logistics. Design and project management connect processes, people, equipment and software. The scope includes Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation: process design, master data, configuration, testing and the transition into operation.
Current project · Precision manufacturing, Switzerland
Concept development and tender preparation
The planning covers storage, internal transport and production supply for a new factory. I coordinate lift handovers, buffers, maintenance access and building openings with the project team.
Selected current projects
Distribution logistics · Concept development
Site observations and operating records inform the planning of processes, workplaces and layouts, from goods receipt to loading. With the operator and system provider, I review the software functions and automation options for the proposed operation.
3D planning model
2D layout study
Industrial production · Tender preparation
Tender preparation covers palletising and mobile transport. Within an engineering partner’s project team, I specify performance requirements, supply packages and interfaces with existing production equipment and systems.
New building · Concept development
For a new pharmaceutical production building, I coordinate Materials Management’s requirements with architecture, process engineering and IT. I have prepared the logistics concept, material-flow and room-adjacency diagrams, and an equipment list.
Current implementation · Sandbox configuration and testing
Business Central processes and master data for purchasing, recipes, production and packing. The sandbox covers material consumption, batches, costs and sales. Initial end-to-end test cases have passed; configuration work continues before joint user testing and live operation.
Scope of work
Planning starts with the future operating requirements and an assessment of stock, peak flows, staffing, available space and systems. Manual, partly automated and automated options are compared by investment, staffing and operating cost. Deliverables include layouts, capacity calculations and investment recommendations.
Scope and deliverablesTender specifications define the requirements for equipment, software and building work. The offer comparison uses the same operating requirements and covers recurring costs, exclusions, supplier responsibilities and conditions to resolve before an award.
Scope and deliverablesProject management covers Business Central implementations and equipment projects within the agreed mandate. The work includes developing processes and master data, configuring the operational setup, coordinating software and equipment suppliers, and testing complete flows. It also covers schedules, costs, migration, training and preparation for live operation.
Scope and deliverables
The person doing the work
I run Tidira in Basel. Before founding the practice, I managed equipment projects and ran warehouse operations myself.
Previous roles
Yes. A feasibility study, tender, interface review or test-planning assignment can be a defined mandate. The proposal states the deliverables, inputs, dependencies and responsibility for the next phase.
Yes. For client-side supplier selection, Tidira is paid by the client and receives no supplier commissions or referral fees. I compare viable concepts and supplier proposals against the project requirements. If I work for an integrator or supplier under a different mandate, that role is stated.
Send the project phase, the question to resolve, expected deliverables and important dates. Include existing plans or data if available and state the deadline for the proposal. Missing inputs can be identified in the first discussion.
