Just-in-Time Delivery as a Holistic Logistics ConceptThe Association for Operations Management (APICS) defines just-in-time as "a philosophy of manufacturing based on planned elimination of all waste and on continuous improvement of productivity".
At Jerich International, just in time delivery means having the right material, in the exact quantity, at the right place, at the right time. This simple principle describes a core part of our operational expertise and our understanding of jit logistics.
Based on long-standing, trust-based customer relationships, Jerich International has developed optimized just-in-time concepts that create tangible benefits for companies across a wide range of industries.
Through our just in time delivery philosophy,
we add measurable value to logistics services by:
- reducing or even eliminating company-owned warehouses
- improving just in time transport and delivery systems
- lowering tied-up capital
- increasing flexibility across production and distribution
- providing fast, accurate and transparent information
Shaping Tomorrow’s Logistics Concepts.
Global logistics concepts must continuously adapt to an evolving business environment. New distribution channels, increasing individualization, globalization and changing core business strategies are key drivers shaping today’s logistics requirements. At the same time, advances in information technology and transport systems enable new approaches to just in time delivery and jit logistics across global supply chains.
Drawing on experience from our own business locations worldwide and close collaboration with a wide range of industries, Jerich International translates these developments into practical logistics concepts. Our focus on operational excellence, streamlined processes and best-in-class execution supports reliable just in time transport, just in time freight and coordinated logistics flows.
This approach allows us to manage complex logistics configurations, including:
- Production concepts: build-to-order, build-to-stock and flexible production models, supported by inbound consolidation centers close to production sites
- Inventory concepts: regional distribution centres, rapid fulfillment depots and market stock points in particular countries
- Distribution concepts: direct deliveries and cross-docking operations to consolidate, sort and distribute shipments via central or regional hub structures, including coordinated just in time trucking as part of an integrated transport approach
„Transport planning within the Jerich transportation network is one of our core strengths. As an internationally operating company, we arrange, combine and integrate road, rail, air and sea transportation requirements.“
Coordinating Global Transport with Precision, Intelligence and Reliability.
With our sophisticated and constantly improved computer system every transport planner at our strategic positioned terminals is part of the planning process and oversees the status of the shipments. As an international operating company we arrange, combine and integrate road, rail, air and sea transportation needs.
The optimization of our supply chain considers utilization, delivery times, customer priorities, special customer requests and cost structures. This enables us to plan rationally, identify problems, evaluate alternatives and find solutions to outperform our competitors and fulfill the requirements of our customers.
