Automating the warehouse: the business case only works without the people

Automatizzare il magazzino: il business case regge solo senza le persone · Logistics · Beginner

The case

The warehouse automation project (14 months, 2.3 million) promises 35% higher productivity, halved errors and break-even in four years: but the business case only holds by reducing headcount from 42 to 26. Sixteen jobs, in an area where your warehouse is one of the few employers, with 12 years average seniority and skills hard to spend elsewhere. The union has already requested a meeting, two key team leaders (needed precisely for the transition) are sending out CVs, and the board wants the project signed within two months. How do you build the plan?

Il progetto di automazione del magazzino (14 mesi, 2,3 milioni) promette il 35% di produttività in più, errori dimezzati e il pareggio in quattro anni: ma il business case regge solo riducendo l'organico da 42 a 26 persone. Sedici posti, in un territorio dove il tuo magazzino è uno dei pochi datori di lavoro, con un'anzianità media di 12 anni e competenze poco spendibili altrove. Il sindacato ha già chiesto un incontro, due capi squadra chiave (che servirebbero proprio per la transizione) stanno mandando curriculum, e il CdA vuole la firma sul progetto entro due mesi. Come costruisci il piano?
