Service Logistics

Service and replacement parts

Our service and replacement parts service involves the management of manufacturers' replacement parts delivered to and from customers according to pre-defined service levels or warranty agreements on a one-, two-, four- or eight-hour and next-day basis, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

We work closely with our customers to overcome common issues such as:
  • Poor parts availability
  • High inventory investment
  • Long lead times, accentuated by global sourcing
  • High levels of customer returns
  • Poor visibility, reporting and control
  • Cost control of the demand chain

Key services include:
  • International freight forwarding
  • Domestic and regional inbound deliveries
  • Inventory planning, forecasting, procurement and analysis
  • Distribution centre operations
  • Outbound delivery

The entire process is underpinned by a web-enabled electronic order processing and order monitoring tool.

Inbound to Manufacturing

Inbound to manufacturing is the complete end-to-end logistics management of inventories, facilities and labour associated with the inbound flow of materials from vendors and supplier origins to consumption points in manufacturers' production lines.

The service encompasses:
  • Network, transportation and facility design
  • Inventory optimisation
  • Supplier management
  • Transportation management
  • In-plant services

Key to the service is integrating manufacturers' forecasting, order management and supply chain execution processes with their component suppliers. DHL implements warehouse management and supply chain event management systems to manage just-in-time deliveries and allow supply chain participants to exchange forecast requirements in real time.

Value is created for manufacturers and component suppliers throughout the world by:
  • Enabling a robust and cost-effective supply chain
  • Providing the necessary visibility so that the location of all components within the supply chain is known to all supply chain participants
  • Reduce inventory and investment costs
  • Improve delivery times
  • Co-ordinate multiple components more efficiently
