Fehlende Transparenz in Registrierungsdaten führt zu Bestandsverwaltungs-Missmatches
Definition
EFR operates three locations (Munich, Berlin, Wutha-Farnroda) with dual production facilities in Thuringia. Lack of centralized registration tracking creates inventory coordination failures. Procurement teams over-order RJ45 connectors (Telegärtner supplies) or other components because they cannot confirm which units have cleared registration. Conversely, under-ordering creates production halts. Typical impact: 5–10% excess working capital tied up in raw materials.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €12,000–€40,000 in excess inventory carrying costs annually; 5–10% increase in working capital cycle (estimated €2–€5M tied up for mid-sized manufacturers)
- Frequency: Ongoing (per procurement cycle, monthly or quarterly)
- Root Cause: Siloed registration data across production sites; no unified BNetzA registry query system; manual cross-site inventory reconciliation
