Automotive logistics encompasses all logistical processes and services required for the procurement, transportation, storage and delivery of vehicles, vehicle parts and components. The goal is to make the supply chain from production to delivery to the customer as efficient and cost-effective as possible.
Key services in automotive logistics include inbound logistics (delivery of components to production), outbound logistics (transportation of finished vehicles), warehousing, transport management, customs clearance and the handling of returns and spare parts.
Major challenges include just-in-time delivery to minimize inventory, managing complex supply chains and addressing global factors such as trade barriers, weather conditions and supply bottlenecks. Optimizing transport costs and ensuring quality are also critical aspects.
Third-party logistics providers take on logistical tasks such as warehousing, transportation, and customs clearance on behalf of automotive manufacturers and suppliers. 3PL providers often offer specialized services and capabilities that allow automotive companies to manage their logistics efficiently and flexibly.
Warehousing is crucial for ensuring the timely availability of components and materials. Collaboration with suppliers is managed through close communication, long-term agreements and regular quality controls. At Rhenus, we use LOBSTER, a software for electronic data interchange (EDI), to facilitate digital communication.
