How do you mechanize logistics processes for lingerie and what forces are released by a 20ft air cargo pallet? How do you find a balance in investments in mechanization and automation versus manpower? Typical material handling questions you have come across in recent years. As a Medior Consultant Material Handling Systems (MHS) at Districon, you can further develop your experience in this discipline.
You will do this by:
- Making a difference for an air cargo carrier anywhere in the world, for a Benelux wholesaler in DIY or a European distribution center of a world-famous sports brand
- Understanding processes and, with an open mind, devising original and optimal mechanized solutions and working these out in a design program such as AutoCAD
- Giving advice and presenting the results and findings convincingly to the client
Your team
You will be working in the Advisory team, which consists of around 25 enthusiastic and driven colleagues. Together with the other Business Consultants with different expertises, you spar and constantly challenge each other to get the best out of yourself. You give direction to the further development of the Material Handling Systems discipline within Districon.
