Streamlining Event Equipment Rental Supply Chain for Quality and Cost Savings
Streamlining Event Equipment Rental Supply Chain for Quality and Cost Savings
Our client, a leading event equipment rental company, faced challenges with product quality and cost management due to their reliance on trading companies for sourcing. We stepped in to identify source factories, implement quality control, and streamline logistics, resulting in improved quality and cost savings.
Challenges:
Inconsistent Product Quality
Relying on trading companies for sourcing led to variable product quality, as the client had no means of conducting quality inspections.
High Logistics Costs
Lack of shipment consolidation and inefficient freight management contributed to increased transportation costs.
Limited Supplier Options
The client primarily worked with trading companies, limiting their access to a broader network of suppliers.
Solutions:
Identifying Source Factories
Our team leveraged our network and industry expertise to identify the original manufacturers and source factories for event equipment. This enabled the client to establish direct relationships with these factories, ensuring better control over product quality and pricing.
Implementing Quality Control
To address the quality issues, we introduced a comprehensive quality control process. This involved inspections at the source factories and strict quality standards. Our quality assurance expertise helped the client enhance product quality and increase customer satisfaction.
Streamlining Logistics
We restructured the client's logistics and supply chain management. This included consolidating shipments, optimizing routes, and reducing transit times. The efficient logistics approach significantly lowered transportation costs and improved inventory turnover rates.
Cost Reduction
By eliminating middlemen (trading companies), our client benefited from reduced procurement costs. The optimized supply chain and logistics strategy contributed to further cost savings.
