Problem Statement: |
After winning a large-scale (NATO) greenfield construction project, our customer needed to set up a supply chain to consolidate, ship, clear, (locally) store and deliver building materials from all over the US to the construction site in central Poland. Only US flag vessels as well as vendors with military clearance were authorized to be selected within the supply chain. Due to the lack of global supply chain and logistics expertise, our customer had lost valuable time during the process of supply chain design and potential vendor identification. As a result, 3 months before project kick-off, no solution had been developed. If our customer would ship the building materials late and cause any delays, substantial penalties and fees would be charged back to them.

Meeting: |
Get overview of all US vendors and pick-up locations, commodities, volumes and schedules
|
||
|
Deep Dive: |
Conceptual design of supply chain and material flows; meet STREAMLINERS' local network in Poland to rapidly investigate options for customs clearance, storage and shuttle trucking; get pricing and commitment from potential vendors, so military clearances can get obtained
|
||
|
Hypothesis: |
If a strong local team of logistics partners can be set up and aligned in a collaborative approach, the expected transit times can be reduced by 25%. The materials will arrive at the warehouse in Poland on time and delivery schedules to the construction site will be met.
