Case Study – FMCG

Introduction

A customer of Mitsui-Soko that deals globally with fast moving consumer goods wishes to implement global third-party logistic plans. They wish to streamline its distributions through 66 routes in 10 countries, with a single aim of cost efficiency.

The Challenge

As the third party logistic service provider, we are tasked to design an integrated service covering everything from logistic design to distribution selection in each country and region. The overall management of transportation and coordination between its factories and warehouses will need to be done globally, with an alignment of all processes throughout the various regions.

Solution

Mitsui-Soko, being a global logistics company, has a team in place to assist customers in global expansion plans. Many of our global offices have been established for many years, easing the way for management of global logistics for our customers. At each country, Mitsui-Soko subsidiaries ensure processes are aligned and upheld, allowing our customers’ local staff to focus on their core duties.

Results

With a single standard operating procedure in place, we aligned processes and reduced shipping costs. With the implementation of the solution, reduction of cost is averaged at 10%. As other regions begin to adopt the same methods, cost saving is estimated to be 15% globally. With our entrenched understanding of global logistics requirements, we provide a timely solution that improves efficiency.
