Cutting Inventory Costs by 85% with Just-In-Time Logistics
In the world of manufacturing, the pursuit of inventory reduction faces a formidable adversary – the ever-present uncertainties intertwined within the supply chain.
Imagine the scenario: Production planning managers find themselves wrestling with factors well beyond their control –
In their quest to ward off disruptions triggered by these unpredictable forces, manufacturing units’ resort to maintaining elevated inventory levels. Yet, at the crux of this predicament lies the “pursuit of predictability” — a crucial key to overcome these challenges and achieve a more streamlined production flow.
BWC joined hands with a leading agricultural machinery manufacturer to resolve this complex dance between uncertainty and predictability, unravelling the complexities of inventory management in the manufacturing realm. The client recognized that an uninterrupted and timely flow of goods was the key to seamless production and reduced inventory costs.
However, the path to translating this vision into reality appeared complex and formidable.
Having complete visibility and transparency across all supply chain elements allows real-time monitoring. The benefits of a reliable supply chain include quick responses to unexpected disruptions, swift corrective actions and improved resource allocation, enhancing overall efficiency and on-time delivery.
BWC Labs initiated the engagement by conducting a thorough audit to understand the scope of the requirement. Our experts realised that the lack of real-time information on cargo was at the root of most of the problems in the overall inbound logistics process. Our rigorous analysis showed that,
“An unforeseen flat tire could disrupt an entire shipment. Matters got even complex when drivers juggled multiple routes. The complicated web of shipments necessitates a solution that extends beyond monitoring individual deliveries.”
Our audit made it clear that a comprehensive approach that ensures constant visibility of cargo and streamlined coordination between all parties involved, will solve majority of problems faced by the leading agricultural machinery manufacturer.
The insights from assessing the client’s challenges led BWC to develop a specific solution. The goal was to simplify complex inbound logistics through a transformative approach.
BWC harnessed the power of technology to bring clarity to a previously convoluted process. The solution was to create a sophisticated live shipment tracking system, bolstered by GPS technology. This innovation promised to revolutionize cargo tracking across the entire supply chain.
The heart of the solution lay in real-time GPS tracking of trucks. Each truck was equipped with GPS technology, providing precise and up-to-date information about its location, route, and speed. This technology brought unparalleled visibility to the movement of trucks, allowing for constant monitoring of their journeys.
What set this system apart was its capability to follow cargos across multiple trucks seamlessly. Often small shipments were consolidated into a single larger shipment, to enhance transportation efficiency. The innovative tracking system allowed for the seamless tracking of each individual cargo item as it moved from small trucks to the larger consolidated shipments. This meant that the details of the cargo were updated every time it switched from one vehicle to another.
This level of transparency ensured that the client maintained a clear overview of all goods, whether they were part of a large shipment or a smaller consignment.
One of the core features of the system was its ability to provide immediate alerts in case of any anomalies. If a truck encountered an issue on its journey—such as a detour or a delay—the system would flag it immediately. This proactive approach empowered the logistics team to respond swiftly and make necessary adjustments, minimizing disruptions and ensuring that deliveries remained on track.
Furthermore, the data collected by the system was harnessed for in-depth analytics. Over time, trends and patterns emerged, offering valuable insights for further process optimization. This continuous feedback loop enabled the client to fine-tune their operations, making better-informed decisions about routes, load balancing, and transportation strategies.
Traditionally, such systems often faced resistance from ground-level users. However, we overcame these challenges through a multi-faceted approach:
The ingenious solution crafted by BWC Labs Consulting yielded a cascade of transformative benefits, like timely delivery as per ETA. Seamlessly navigating the complexities that once plagued their inbound logistics process, the client reaped rewards that echoed throughout their operations.
