TVS Supply Chain Solutions - Construction Sector White Paper

Transportation and Logistics Optimisation

We optimise transportation routes and schedules to minimise delivery times and reduce the environmental impact of construction activities. We operate a control tower transport planning operation for many customers which can include inbound product and material management from suppliers overseas or the management of a variety of vehicle fleets across the UK. The benefit is a clear overview of the immediate requirements of a project and the future requirements. This allows us to source and implement the best transport solution at key project milestones. Ultimately, the efficient use of the transport resource supports better cost control and sustainability objectives.

Risk Management

We identify potential risks in the supply chain such as delays in material deliveries and we develop contingency plans to mitigate their impact on the project. Our Supplier Information Portal supports risk mitigation as it facilities open and timely communication with the supply chain and gives us forward visibility of any potential issues. Another critical area of our PMO solution is identifying and managing all areas of potential risk, at a local micro level and at a global macro level. ‘What if’ scenario planning early in the process means we can develop risk management strategies. We communicate these across all areas of the project so alternative plans can be adopted swiftly when needed, to minimise downtime or delay in transportation or purchasing.
