CEVA Logistics (Thailand) Co is now handling all automotive logistics for Tri Petch Isuzu Sales Co under a new three-year outsourcing contract.
Tri Petch is responsible for the sales and distribution of Isuzu pickup trucks and heavy-duty trucks via a network of more than 300 dealers. CEVA will use its carrier fleet and IT systems to manage the distribution of Isuzu vehicles throughout the country.
"Since we are not professionals in logistics and it is not our core business, we decided to select a specialist global logistics company to handle our logistics operations," said Panadda Chennavasin, vice-president of Tri Petch.
As well, Tri Petch wants its supply chain to operate to global best-practice levels and to significantly improve sales operations to support the dealer network.
"We hope our operating costs will improve from efficient logistics performance, which will be assessed once a year," she said.
CEVA will manage Tri Petch's vehicle supply chain from Isuzu's plants through to final delivery to dealers. This includes transport of vehicles from plants in Samut Prakan and Chachoengsao to two motor pools, where vehicles are inspected, accessories installed and the vehicles made ready for final delivery to dealers.
A CEVA executive said the company recently began an operational process improvement and re-engineering programme to increase the quality of logistics operations to world-class standards.
The programme involve the establishment of a shared-user vehicle logistics network to be used by other automotive manufacturing and sales companies. This will improve overall efficiency of the supply chain and provide a highly cost-effective operation for Tri Petch and for CEVA's new customers.
CEVA will use more than 100 car carriers for transport, along with a management and operational team of more than 400 staff.
"This is one of the largest automotive logistics contracts in the Thai market," said Winfried Kiesbueye, CEVA's managing director. "Our key aim is to improve the efficiency of Tri Petch's vehicle handling operation by implementing CEVA's best-practice lean processes and increasing overall control."
