The challenges facing automotive manufacturers have rarely been greater, as demands for higher standards accompany extreme pressure on costs and a difficult operating environment.
The search for efficiency has led to new, flexible production methods such as build-to-order and lean supply chains. At the same time, the supply chain has become more complex, with global supply, proliferation of parts and vehicles and production shifting.

Key services
This modular Smart Solution has been developed from our profound understanding of automotive manufacturing, with a specific focus on:
Flexibility
Variations in demand require flexible production, so we study your planning and scheduling to help us provide a similarly flexible supply chain, while enabling inventory reductions.
Lower costs
Many automotive companies have applied LEAN methodologies to lower costs; we are the first logistics company to do the same. We generate continuous improvements through global benchmarking and use software tools to manage information and improve productivity.
Real-time visibility
Your production plans depend on up-to-date information, so our systems provide the real-time visibility you need. And if anything does go wrong, we can take remedial action to prevent any disruption before it happens. We also provide established KPI to measure the effectiveness of our services.
Reliability
A reliable supply of high quality parts is essential. We use standardized processes, highly trained staff and proactive management to ensure compliance with quality requirements. Our Zero Defect Startup (ZDS) implementations are achieved through a standardized implementation methodology.
