Production Logistics

From procurement to manufacturing operations, DB Schenker's production logistics services can reduce costs and streamline your processes.

We have the experience and expertise to optimize your supply chain from the procurement stage to the actual manufacturing operations. 

Whether you need greater control and visibility of your production supply, or you want to optimize your sequenced line side deliveries, our procurement and manufacturing logistics solutions can help.

DB Schenker’s Production Logistics fills the gap between your suppliers’ operations and your company’s manufacturing sites. We’ll handle consolidating supplier materials close to your supply points using our own — or your preferred — expert international transportation network. You’ll save in logistics costs because we reduce safety stock, cycle times, and excess inventory. We make your suppliers feel as though they’re right next door. 

Our Production Logistics covers all activities connected to your supply of manufacturing operations – from kitting and subassembly, to JIT and JIS delivery. We focus on keeping your supply chain lean – providing just the right amount of supplies for on-time manufacture. Using the latest technology, we manage all aspects of supply for your manufacturing operations.
