Distribution and Network Management
Our solutions have been designed for customers seeking to outsource downstream fulfilment management and improvement.
Distribution and network management provides end-to-end management services to transform logistics networks into competitive supply chains. By serving as the single point of contact between customers and their LSP network, we are able to significantly lower costs and drive sustainable value.
Network Design & Optimisation
Network Design and Optimisation acts as an extension of the customers' business and defines a strategic configuration. This combines key figures including all elements of costs, performance and environmental challenges in a dynamic market situation.
It considers rapid changes in customer behaviour, shorter product lifecycles and imbalanced order and volume structures in a highly competitive market environment.
With the use of state-of-the-art back-bone systems, the optimal supply chain architecture and strategy is determined on a strategic and tactical level.
The result is best-in-class network solutions which leads to increased asset and resource utilisation, cost reduction and service optimisation.
End-to-End Execution Management
Utilising operative order cycles and continuous improvement management we have developed a modular service architecture that enables the rapid alignment of customer needs in more efficient and cost effective solutions.
The process takes place on two levels. The top level looks at supply and the development of operational order execution. It analyses and provides solutions for everything from the sourcing of service providers to the application of tactical software systems. Continuous Improvement permanently controls distribution processes.
The operational, second level manages transport and information flows in order to ensure products are delivered to consignees according to agreed conditions.
Order Fulfilment validates sales orders or delivery notes to generate consistent information at the beginning of the supply chain. Daily load and routing optimisation is realised through a lean administrative Transport Planning. First call resolution of urgent requests is managed by a centralised Customer Service.
Capturing real time shipment status enables global transport visibility and initiates proactive pre-alerts to meet expected delivery performances. Freight Settlement drives a lean and traceable billing service to prevent overcharges and to be complaint to agreed tariffs.
Kuehne + Nagel Integrated Logistics aims to establish sustainable customer distribution logistics and manages a comprehensive KPI and metrics service that emphasises external as well as internal service improvements.
