Produktionsstoppages durch Fehlteile und Lieferkettenrisiken
Definition
Industry research explicitly documents: 'there was still the need to pause production due to the lack of a needed good.' In a small repair shop, a single missing sole or heel material stops the entire workflow. Unlike larger manufacturers with buffer inventory, repair shops operate with thin margins and cannot absorb production delays. Each stoppage delays customer delivery, triggers rework, and causes customer friction.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: 4–16 lost production hours per shop per month; €5.1–€20.3m sector-wide annually (1,448 shops × 10 avg hours × €35/hour)
- Frequency: Weekly to biweekly (estimated 2–4 stoppages per shop per month)
- Root Cause: No safety stock calculation (formula: Safety Stock = Z × σ × √L); no reorder point tracking; supplier lead times not factored into ordering; inventory visibility is manual/paper-based
