An international producer of healthy, convenient and affordable foods was stuggling to maintain an effifient, cost-effective supply chain. The third-party logistics (3PL) provider managing its West Coast distribution was failing to deliver on commitments, leading to unacceptable results.
Plaguing the operations were long loading times; a high rate of over, shorts, and damages (O,S, & D); law inventory accuracy; an inefficient process flow; and less-than-stellar food grade audit scores.
The company sought a new 3PL partner to manage an entire supply chain that would bring together multiple divisions and turn around results in its West Coast distribution so it could focus on its core business.
