thyssenkrupp Elevator opens central spare parts warehouse in Pune

thyssenkrupp Elevator has introduced its first central spare parts warehouse in Pune. This modern warehouse is expected to improve services for customers operating in domestic market in addition with enabling round-the-clock availability of elevator spare parts in Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, said the company.

The new warehouse is spread over 10,000 sq. ft in Pune and can hold up to over 5,000 different parts and components for maintenance service. Also, it has the capacity to handle more than 10,000 orders per year and will support field requirements including imports and inventory control.

It added that it plans to launch additional central storage points worldwide across different continents as a part of group’s global spare parts business excellence initiative.

“As a single management and storage point, Indian Technological Warehouse in Chakan, Pune aims at maintaining total availability of all spare parts for their operators, optimising their logistics through analysis and processing of data collected in real time. The warehouse operations will later be integrated with ERP Warehouse Management model for optimised inventory management and logistics processes,” said Mr Manish Mehan, CEO, thyssenkrupp Elevator (India).

This development will reduce the downtimes of non-operational elevators by ensuring availability of spare parts all time and providing them just in time to its service technicians. This will result in 10 per cent saving per year in the number of trips made by technicians to pick up components at their local office between jobs. Also, there will be a 20 per cent optimisation in waiting time for the customer until the elevator is put back into service.
