Logistics requirements

At MAHLE Behr Industry, supplier logistics is planned and implemented both carefully and efficiently—for both sides. The result is a smooth supply process that benefits our customers.

MAHLE Behr Industry has set itself the target of putting into practice future-oriented and market-adapted logistics with its customers and suppliers. Handling the entire supply chain in the spirit of partnership is indispensable to ensure cost efficiency and a flexible flow of materials.

The advantages of MAHLE Behr Industry logistics, which we aim to maintain and further improve in cooperation with our partners, are:

• Delivery flexibility
• On-time delivery
• Process efficiency
• Supply chain continuity
  
  

We take time to plan supplier logistics carefully and profitably for both sides.

Take time for us
MAHLE Behr Industry logistics is customer-oriented. Practising customer orientation means that we aim to seek and find solutions with you, our suppliers. A common basis is formed by more than just personal contact with our logistics planners and specialists at our plants. We kindly ask you to take time to consider our logistics requirements, which will help both you and us to determine during the pilot run and before agreeing on prices how we plan to collaborate. Which modes of transport will be used? What type of packaging do we agree on? These are just a few of the essential questions we should jointly take time to settle in order to ensure the following for series production operation: the trouble-free delivery process that our customers require and deserve.

Honoring delivery deadlines
For us, reliability means sticking to delivery deadlines and quantities just as reliably as we abide by logistics concepts, packaging rules, and communication channels. Only by working hand in hand can we reliably supply and satisfy our common customer. And that includes us too! Confront us and point out errors and room for improvement. As a company with a focus on partnership, we look forward to your suggestions.

We face up to the competition
MAHLE Behr Industry faces up to the tough competition in worldwide sales markets on a daily basis, which is another reason why we must constantly work on improving the cost efficiency of our logistics processes. Innovative and lower-cost processes contribute toward the improved competitiveness of all partners. Logistics thus ensures that established logistics processes and improvements are adopted as worldwide standards.
