Buyer’s Consolidation Model

Challenges

While procuring materials from multiple vendors across China for a manufacturing plant in Indonesia, the customer faced several operational challenges, including:

• Small-lot shipments from individual vendors
• Rising transportation costs
• Increased number of import customs clearances
• Growing documentation management workload
• More complex supply chain management
