Full truckload optimization project
Sustainable value created
- A total cost of ownership savings of 10% was achieved through the project
- Evaluation of make-or-buy scenarios
- The rollout of supertrucks for local intercompany flows
- In addition, this project generated other benefits: smaller supplier panel, long-term contracts with the strategic suppliers, fewer annual price discussions, less workload, commitment of strategic suppliers to certain volumes, and risk mitigation for certain critical transportation flows
Client profile
An international manufacturing company with an annual spend of 45 million euros on transport and more than 10 production facilities.
The challenge
Over ten plants are located across three distinct business units of the company, with transportation flows being managed by each division separately with little consolidation between divisions. There was a challenge in optimizing the European transport flows, which accounted for over 80% of global expenditures.
Hudicor’s approach
The global FTL team was guided by Hudicor with a clear methodology aimed at identifying synergies and optimizing significant performance, supported by a long-term vision.
The key building blocks here were cross-functional teams, thorough analyses of internal and external requirements, Total Cost of Ownership, and fact-based analysis.
By combining all of these elements, we were able to define a strategy and identify all kinds of levers for achieving these improvements. Communication played a vital role in ensuring that these elements were carried by the organization.
More than 150 suppliers participated in our tender covering more than 2,000 transport flows.
