Supply chain management
Our Supply chain management model also enables us to review our medium term demands on a monthly basis, which focuses on a time horizon of 3 months but has the visibility of the next 12 months ahead. The supply chain plan contains forecast sales, aggregate production plans and fleet modelling ensuring that our fleet capability can supply the demand requirements. Adequate vehicles are allocated and monitored to ensure all replenishment plans are fulfilled and stock levels can be monitored to ensure service levels are maintained.
Contract hauliers
All of our Contract hauliers have completed a VRU DCPC course and received MPQC Driver Skills training. All drivers whether employees, contract hauliers or hire drivers have undergone an induction covering safety information and are all trained to the same high standard. Since 2012 we have ensured that all new vehicles in our HGV fleet are fitted with cycle-safe technology. We aim to retrofit all vehicles less than eight years old with cycle-safe technology.
