Description of the assignment:
As a Spare Parts Logistics department one of the options we offer to our customers is consolidated order flow.

This flow has several benefits both for the customers but also reduces inefficiencies in the Logistics department.In this assignment we want to investigate how we can make more use of the consolidated order flow.
