                of integrated supply chain solutions. With the two divisions, LILA CONSULT and LILA OPERATING,
                the traditional barrier between consulting and implementation is broken down and answers are
                found to the ever-increasing logistical challenges relating to organisational structures, more effi-

                are created are implemented either directly at the customer‘s premises or in our own logistics

FOREWORD

TEARING DOWN BOUNDARIES –
Merging Production With Logistics
The issue of “interconnection” has become the key factor in the future development of
the automotive industry. The times when specialised organisational units were able to
optimise plans and processes without being influenced by external events are long gone.
Modern communication technologies reveal the frictional losses that result from the iso-
lated consideration of the requirements of a single area, and there is increasing aware-
ness of these losses in management decisions, process routines and KPI systems. The
model of independent silos is being replaced by the model of interconnected organisa-
tion – thereby achieving the best outcomes for the entire company driven by communica-
                                                                                                       Dr.-Ing. Joachim Damasky

This also applies in particular to logistics, which has always had numerous interacting
interfaces with the procurement, quality assurance, production and distribution func-
tions. With the automation of in-plant logistics using driverless transport vehicles, smart
devices and self-prompted automatic material orders by production systems, logistics is
increasingly merging with production. They are becoming integrated in an ideal way.

The Forum Automotive Logistics 2020 will focus on this trend. At Europe’s biggest spe-
cial-interest event devoted to the automotive supply chain, we will be leaving familiar
terrain and looking at the overarching topics that are calling into question the traditional
dividing lines between production and logistics. On February 5 and 6, 2020 you will have
the opportunity to listen to strategic presentations and experience reports from man-
agement executives and experts on addressing issues such as climate neutrality, digital                Robert Blackburn

The organisers – the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA) and Bundesv-

motive logistics and all other interested parties with a platform for networking and the
exchange of ideas.

You can look forward to two exciting and eventful days. And you can also take advantage
of the opportunity to find out about the latest products and services at the parallel exhi-
bition as well as to experience automotive production and logistics close-up during the
various plant tours.

We look forward to welcoming you to Leipzig!

                                                The BMW plant in Leipzig has been producing BMW cars for customers around the world
                                                since March 2005, with around 1,000 vehicles rolling off the assembly line every day. The plant
                                                makes more than 860 models in the classic “1” and “2” series alone on a daily basis. In Sep-

                                                2014 by the BMW i8. Both cars are future-focused vehicles with alternative drive concepts and
                                                bodies made using innovative lightweight carbon. Four wind turbines installed at the plant
                                                specifically for this purpose supply green energy for the production of these automobiles.

                                                Ever since it was built in the year 2000, the Porsche factory in Leipzig has been one of
                                                the most modern and sustainable automotive factories anywhere in the world. Some
                                                4,300 employees currently produce a total of 500 vehicles in the compact “Macan” SUV
                                                and the Panamera sports tourer model ranges every day. The Porsche factory in Leipzig
                                                is currently undergoing its fifth expansion to handle the next generation of the Macan
                                                with fully electric drive. This means that Porsche Leipzig will in future also be producing
                                                electric cars on the existing assembly lines.
