CEVA Logistics, now based in Baar, Switzerland, has completed the first phase of an inbound aero logistics project for Rolls-Royce, the former Dutch forwarding giant announced. CEVA has been responsible for designing, implementing and managing the domestic, regional and international shipment of aerospace parts for both the civil and defence divisions of Rolls-Royce since early last year.
More than 1,200 shipments per week with an average weight of 300-500 kilogrammes and ranging from small parcels to out-of-gauge are moved into multiple Rolls-Royce facilities across the UK, Germany, US and Singapore.
By establishing three bases at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Leicestershire; Singapore and Jacksonville and utilising its Matrix Supply Chain Management global platform CEVA has been able to transform the way Rolls-Royce manages its inbound inventory.
To achieve this CEVA has transitioned some 800 individual Rolls-Royce suppliers onto its Matrix system to provide Rolls-Royce with a single source for the data and visibility of its shipments, said CEVA.
This new level of visibility has enabled Rolls-Royce to dramatically reduce the volume of expedited freight it requires and introduced a reduction in transit times which are measured against agreed service level requirements.
