Case Study

How Apollo Supply Chain helped a leading German automotive parts manufacturing company nearly double the delivery SLA and halve the overtime hours

The Challenge

Stock Issues

The manufacturer faced issues in plan execution like missing priority parts, missing checks on availability of stock etc. that reported an average of 40 complaints/ month.

Unoptimized warehouse layout plan

Our team discovered that the layout plan of the warehouse was unoptimized. For example, poor goods storage plan significantly increased the amount of time spent in searching of products for picking and dispatching which, in turn, increased working hours and resulted in cost overheads.

Higher Lead Times

Two warehouses, located 100 km apart, increased process redundancies, the number of storage and transportation touchpoints, and the overall lead time.

The Solution

We implemented Lean Six Sigma principles and tools to the analysis of business processes. This led to improvements in performance metrics.

We integrated our key logistics services like in-plant logistics, warehousing, and transportation (long-haul and short-haul) services giving us full control of goods from the finished goods storage of the plant till the supply to its customers’ assembly line. This, in turn, substantially improved the execution time.

We redesigned the complete warehouse to improve the movement of manpower between storage locations, which speeded up the material handling process.

We established and started operating JIT warehouse with defined time-based deliveries to the manufacturer’s customers and its warehouses across India.

The Result

Significant Improvements

Just-In-Time

The improvements enabled JIT (Just In Time) delivery to OEMs and warehouses located across India. This included movements and storage of goods from the point of the procurement of the raw material to the storage of finished goods

Partners in Growth

The resulting service excellence inspired greater faith in our capabilities. The company subsequently entrusted us with the responsibility of managing warehouses facilities at multiple locations.
