Manufacturer Reduces Supply Chain Costs of Relocating to Singapore
September 27, 2012
Solution: MIQ Logistics created a supplier inventory hub in the free zone at the Singapore Changi Airport. With warehouse space available, vendors could ramp up production and shift from parcel and airfreight to less costly ocean freight.
MIQ Logistics discovered multiple U.S vendors within a 20-mile radius. We developed a pickup schedule for more consistent product flow, lower inland transportation costs and airfreight consolidation opportunities.
Results: By consolidating air shipments, opening a supplier inventory hub and creating a new ocean program, MIQ Logistics saved the customer >60% in transportation costs. In addition, the customer retained its existing supplier base and maintain its competitive rates - avoiding the lengthy and costly copy exact audits.
