| Case Study:
(Monier) ST/LT Distribution
How one company reduced their cost
of materials and achieved Just In Time delivery from a plant
located half way around the world.
One of our long time customers found
a new source for raw materials in China. They were able to give
a much better price, by producing large quantities, at off peak
production times. However, neither the vendor nor our customer
had space to store it.
We arranged to receive all of the product at one time and hold
it for them. Then we deliver the quantities they need just in
time for production.
In this case, 3-4 full containers arrive at one time. We hold
them at a Bonded Container Freight Station, "CFS," located near
their plants in Los Angles, Oakland, and Miami. Then deliver one
load at a time.
They achieved a lower cost of materials and improved service
with JIT delivery.
We can adapt this program to fit many situations. Whether you
are shipping or receiving. For example see: How to give your
customers next day delivery when you are 2000 miles away, for
the price of local trucking. How it’s done: Short-term/Long-term
distribution.
