Sequence Delivery

Synchronizing production and logistics for lower cost, agile operations

Build to order manufacturing environments require the correct materials, components or ingredients be delivered directly to the assembly line in the right configuration and proper sequence, arriving at the exact time a matched vehicle or component passes the point of fit (POF) on the line. Obviously not a trivial task.

Sequence Delivery for LSPs
Automotive logistics service providers face special challenges with sequenced deliveries

RedPrairie’s Sequence Delivery provides complete synchronization of manufacturing and logistics processes between OEMs and first-tier suppliers (or LSPs), thereby eliminating any part mismatches or shutdowns on the assembly lines. This synchronization enables Tier-1 suppliers to reduce inventory cost, shorten cycle times and create a smoother demand from Tier-2 suppliers.

RedPrairie Sequence Delivery allows your organization to maintain an agile and lean order fulfillment environment with less inventory and improved service levels, even with light assembly or late customizations. The solution also ensures the right parts are at the OEM assembly POF at the right time – accurately reflecting the sequence assembly schedule communicated just hours earlier.

Build-to-order with just-in-time sequenced delivery is the new standard for many manufacturers today. RedPrairie has the solutions, methodologies, and proven experience to help you guide your operation to this new level of service.
