Mitr Phol Sugar achieves sweet savings of 5% on its logistics spend

公司案例

Mitr Phol Sugar 是泰国和亚洲最大的糖生产商，也是全球五大糖产能公司之一，拥有七家糖厂和三个区域配送中心。Mitr Phol 经营着自己的物流公司 Fast and Fair，为 Mitr Phol 的七家糖厂和其他农产品提供运输服务。Fast and Fair 拥有 4,000 多辆卡车和 400 多辆油罐车，并与 50 多家运输公司合作，每年运输超过 200 万吨糖和 100 万吨普通货物。

业务挑战

With order volumes increasing, Fast and Fair was challenged to deliver Mitr Phol’s products on time due to a lack of visibility into both its internal transportation assets and its carrier network. The subsidiary relied on manual processes, phone calls, spreadsheets and paperwork to manage complex logistics operations spanning multiple mills, warehouses, ports and countries.

解决方案

Fast and Fair chose Blue Yonder’s transportation management as the digital backbone for its daily operations. It has added significant customer value, while allowing Fast and Fair to achieve its four main objectives: grow revenues, improve service, reduce costs and increase compliance. As Mitr Phol’s business grows, the solution can flexibly scale, processing a huge volume of transactions every day.

“As Mitr Phol Sugar grew, manual processes and human planners could no longer manage all the moving parts of our logistics business — including scheduling carriers, assigning trucks, managing docks and monitoring on-time performance. Blue Yonder transportation management enables us to automate all our processes and make fact-based decisions. As a result, we’ve cut our yearly logistics spend by 5%.”

Increasing on-time delivery to 90% through automation and control

“Prior to using Blue Yonder transportation management, we experienced quality issues with our carriers — and our service levels reflected that. We had no way to understand, monitor and measure carrier performance. We had no data-driven basis for awarding contracts. Blue Yonder enables us to automate and control that process, while also providing feedback on each carrier. We’ve improved our on-time delivery rate from 80% to 90%.”

Reducing headcount, while improving speed and accuracy

“When we experienced disruptions in the past — like trucks waiting in a queue outside a warehouse — it took a lot of time, effort and manual analysis to resolve these issues. Blue Yonder enables us to make decisions quickly and accurately to keep our network moving in an optimal manner. Not only has our performance improved, but we’ve been able to redeploy 15 logistics planning headcount.”

Ensuring regulatory compliance and sustainability

“Blue Yonder transportation management enables us to comply automatically with government regulations in all our markets, including tariffs. By defining policies in advance, and trusting Blue Yonder to execute them, we’ve increased our compliance. We plan to use the solution to monitor and maximize our sustainability performance as well.”
