The objective of this thesis is to assess and map the logistics chain of Kaunis Iron AB in order to find areas of optimisation opportunities. By focusing on the internal aspects of the logistics chain, this thesis aims to provide Kaunis Iron AB with quantified suggestions of how to increase the internal efficiency and effectiveness. With data provided by Kaunis Iron AB and workshops with key stakeholders, a comprehensive analysis of the logistics chain was established, from which different Key Perfomance Indicators could be identified. In addition to the data received from Kaunis Iron AB, other sources of secondary data was collected, further validating the findings and tying together the internal subjective perspective with a more objective ditto. With a ramp-up in production volume being imminent, evaluations both pertaining to the current state of operations and a future state were conducted coupled with comparisons between the two. Utilising the aforementioned Key Performance Indicators, several sensitivity analyses were presented, which showcased how different adjustments in the logistics chain affected the output, both at the current state conditions and in the ramped-up production state. From this, the thesis presents the adjustments that, we as authors, find most suitable for Kaunis Iron AB in order to optimise their logistics chain.
