Milk Run Strategy Training | Logistics and Supply Chain Optimization – Grupas Gelişim
Delays in material supply, half-empty trucks, high transportation costs and idle stock on the production line… The common solution to all these problems is a properly designed Milk Run strategy. Grupas Gelişim's Milk Run Strategy program delivers, in a hands-on way, the logistics organization methodology that enables materials to be collected at regular intervals from specific suppliers or warehouses and delivered to facilities and production lines according to a planned route and timetable.
The program covers the application areas of Milk Run (material supply to the production line, collection and distribution in warehouses, retail supply chain, in-plant material flow, local supplier relations) as well as its types (two-way / round-trip, one-way, cross, regional, service provider–based and fixed-route Milk Run); the aim is for the company to select the model that best fits its own supply chain structure.
