Successful strategic realignment at VOLKSWAGEN GROUP Original Teile Logistik, Vertrieb & Services GmbH

After intensive planning, detailed analysis and structured implementation, LOGSOL successfully completed the depot network optimization project (DNO project) at VOLKSWAGEN GROUP Original Teile Logistik, Vertrieb & Services GmbH (OTLG) in January 2025.

LOGSOL supported OTLG both in the strategic orientation and in the project management office (PMO) to ensure future-proof distribution logistics.

Transformation of distribution logistics

In order to respond to market changes and the rise of electromobility, OTLG decided to radically redesign its logistics strategy. The aim of the DNO project was to develop the ideal supply concept for the coming years. This was to increase efficiency, maximize security of supply and create a future-proof infrastructure.

In this context, LOGSOL supported OTLG in two key areas:

1. Strategic logistics consulting: Concept studies and feasibility analyses were developed to define an optimal structure for the future supply concept. Various scenarios were analyzed in order to make logistics processes more efficient and develop sustainable solutions.
2. Project Management Office (PMO): The project was centrally managed and coordinated by a structured project management office (PMO). This ensured transparent planning, continuous monitoring of progress and the establishment of clear communication channels.

Procedure and success factors

In order to create a sound basis for decision-making, various scenarios were analyzed and evaluated. The investigation focused on consolidation, automation and customer service.

Comprehensive data analyses, location evaluations and process optimizations were used to develop a sustainable and scalable logistics solution that is not only efficient in the short term, but also economically viable in the long term.

Parallel to the strategic analysis, the following key tasks were implemented as part of the PMO:

• Establishment of a clear organizational structure to ensure efficient communication and decision-making channels
• Detailed project planning and control with the help of milestone plans, risk analyses and cost monitoring
• Monitoring project progress through regular status reports and coordination with all stakeholders
• Documentation and lessons learned in order to make the knowledge gained usable for future projects

Successful conclusion and outlook

Thanks to the close cooperation of all those involved and the professional management by the PMO, the project was successfully completed. The identified optimization measures were implemented. As a result, a more efficient and stable logistics structure was created.

The project experience gained serves as a basis for future transformation projects. With a clear strategy and professional project management, an important foundation for the future of spare parts logistics has been created.

With this strategic realignment, OTLG is setting a new benchmark in distribution logistics – and LOGSOL has made a decisive contribution to this.
