Case Study
Supply Chain Improvement for Major First Tier Subcontractor
Due to the increasing demands of major OEMs to reduce inventory, improve lead times and reduce cost in the supply chain there is a need to investigate alternative methods of steel delivery.
To assist a major first tier subcontractor, to three of the world’s largest yellow goods OEMs, who had demand for very high volumes of steel, we partnered with a major European steel mill to become their logistics partner. This has resulted in improved their cash flow, as well as increased efficiencies in the supply chain.
