13.5% total cost reduction delivered from a transport improvement program that rationalised the carrier base, improved cost and performance, whilst standardising rates and contract agreements
The Background
A large multi-divisional corporate with contract mining operations had undertaken a spend analysis and had identified a significant and largely unmanaged or uncontracted spend in the area of freight and logistics
In addition, a significant number of freight suppliers had non-standard invoicing arrangements adding an administrative burden on the organisation
How the Siecap team helped
Multi-divisional organisation required base-lining of the existing freight tasks and operations to ensure requirements were documented and understood
Requirements were categorised by freight task and customer requirements; industry options were identified and aligned, and business users were trained on how to manage the processes
An implementation plan was developed to ensure savings were delivered and the processes were sustained
The Results
A consolidated carrier base with standard agreements, rate tables and business usage policies
Audited annual freight saving of 13.5%
Improved transport supplier process compliance
Improved chain of responsibility recognition
Improved quality standards with a platform for continuous improvement
