In any manufacturer’s supply chain, spare parts and finished goods play a key role. Both ends of the sequence requires a correct and optimized management, so that a group of little parts can become something bigger and ready for its final destination. Distribution Centers have a main role. They need to be data integrated, correctly operative and have full visibility to manage the inventory levels.
For all of this structure to be fully prepared, sometimes a distribution network redesign is needed. The services of warehousing, last mile delivery, freight forwarding, and customs clearance have to be coordinated and working perfectly. All this, with the help of a centralized Control Tower, will allow you to have full visibility on all the product’s lifecycle, and even to have a continuous improvement program powered by business analytics.
