Bombardier awards three-year contract to DHL Supply Chain
Bombardier Transportation has awarded DHL Supply Chain a new three-year contract to manage its inbound to manufacturing logistics services.
Under the contract, DHL will operate the on-site logistics for the manufacture of trains at Bombardier’s factory in Derby, managing £27m of production materials per week. DHL will perform all goods receiving, warehousing, kitting, in-plant material movements and line feeding of parts to the car body shop, paint shop and final assembly lines.
DHL will implement its Lead Logistics Partner (LLP) solution, including operating a control tower to manage the inbound supply of production components from Bombardier’s global supply chain to the Derby site, the only factory in the UK able to design, manufacture, assemble and test complete new trains.
