Operational Consulting

Jazz Aviation turned to Kardex to address severe space limitations at their airport-adjacent facility. With inventory spread across cramped areas, locating parts was time-consuming and inefficient, creating bottlenecks in their supply chain.

Kardex provided a comprehensive solution that consolidated bulk inventory that had overflowed into the airport hanger into a centralized stockroom within the warehouse, improving inventory control and accessibility. The shift not only saved space but also streamlined operations and reduced labor-intensive tasks.

“Space is a premium being next to an airport,” said Mike Hauser, Stores System Manager, “It was a constant battle, we had no more room. We needed a full supply chain solution, not just a temporary fix.”

Körber partnered with Kardex to solve space constraints caused by increasing part volumes. Instead of simply delivering equipment, Kardex provided a complete, customized solution starting with a cube analysis to optimize space and efficiency.

The project included not just equipment installation, but a logical parts slotting plan and physical parts loading. Kardex worked closely with Körber to ensure a smooth transition and minimal disruption to operations.

“We needed a complete solution start to finish; from the initial cube analysis and equipment installation to providing a logical parts slotting plan and physical parts loading through long term support – and that’s what we got,” said Austin Williams, Stockroom Manager at Körber.
