Kenco Reduces Freight Costs 49% with Postponement Packaging
August 31, 2015
Solution: Kenco worked with its customer to develop a solution that involved kitting semi-finished goods at the warehouse. Previously, the product line was assembled and then shipped to the regional distribution center (RDC). After implementing this new postponement solution, the manufacturer was able to ship the product's components individually, maximizing trailer cube capacity, and thus saving on freight costs from the manufacturing plant to the Kenco-managed RDC. The solution included an adjusted warehouse layout to accommodate the new postponement assembly and training on the new kitting process.
Results: The implementation of this postponement packaging solution resulted in an overall inbound freight savings of 49.38%.
