Our supply chain team plays an essential role in the management of our production flow from materials to finished products and distribution in the most cost-economical way. Our supply chain team is divided into two teams, the procurement team and the logistics team. Each team applies a strategic and effective approach in managing the growing complexity and demand of our supply chain. The goal of our supply chain is to reach and maintain the equilibrium between supply and demand.
Our Procurement Team Focuses On
Cost reduction
Boosting savings opportunities
Eliminating unnecessary spending
Identifying improved sources of supply
Expanding global sourcing
Relationship management with our suppliers
Our procurement team utilizes a strategic approach in procuring raw materials, machinery, packaging, and other supplies and services for our company. Our procurement folks assess the impact of profitability, risk factors, and segmentation during the process of procurement decision making.
We believe that by implementing a robust procurement strategy, we will be able to gauge our existing spending habits, reduce oversights, boost savings opportunities, identify better sources of supply, expand global sourcing, and create a positive partnership with our suppliers. As a result, our procurement team can significantly reduce costs, generate a positive impact on the cost-income ratio, and ultimately improve our company’s profitability.
Our Logistics Team
Focuses On
Movement, storage, and flow of goods
Strategic and contingent logistics planning
Maximizing storage capacity
Reducing transportation costs
Improving supply lead time
As a part of our supply chain team, our logistics team specializes in the movement, storage, and flow of goods. With proper logistics planning, our logistics folks are able to meet our clients and customers’ requirements. Our logistics planning ranges from procuring the goods, storage at suitable warehouses, to delivery of products. We believe that by implementing a strategic logistics planning, we are able to face and manage unanticipated circumstances as variables such as time, transportation, and costs may be unpredictable at times. We think that by applying strategic emergency planning, we know how and when to respond to these unpredictable circumstances and ensure that our logistic performances stay consistent.
Our logistics folks also work on inventory control and maximizing storage capacity of our warehouses. We work closely with our sales team, our production planning team and our on-site production team in updating and monitoring our inventory data. We also collaborate with our IT team on integrating our software system into the management and operation of our warehouses. Our logistics folks are able to locate and move the goods in a time effective manner and keep our inventory at a desirable status.
Our retail brand and name brand clients also rely on our ability to transport and deliver goods. We collaborate with local trucking companies to transport and deliver goods. With our contract trucking companies, we assess their qualifications in the following areas: their moving load, delivery speed, operation costs, and overall service quality. Our logistics staff are trained in assessing the aforementioned factors and we hold annual evaluations to ensure our contract truck drivers meet our requirements.
With the rise of transportation and logistics costs in global sourcing, our logistics team will focus even more than ever on reducing transportation costs and improve the overall supply lead time and thus enhance our on-time delivery performance for our clients and customers.
