We work primarily with two types of material flow: Full load trailers directly from supplier to the ultimate customers final use point, or an organised transport schedule from several suppliers, following a pre-determined route.
We use the transport companies that are able to comply with our rigorous requirements relating to lead times, delivery precision and total economy for each individual part of the journey. The operation of the terminal itself is either handled in-house or bought in from outside.
In full co-operation with the customer we undertake responsibility in a variety of areas:
- Traffic management
- Transport control and development
- Storage and sequencing
- Pre-assembly and goods reception
- Customs services
- Risk management
The organiser of material flows
We use a sophisticated IT tool called Atlas (Advanced Total Logistics for Automotive Supply), a joint information base for all material flows world wide.
Atlas has:
- up-to-date information about all relevant activities.
- the ability to suggest the best transport solution.
- the ability to improve delivery precision in terms of time.
