Yusen Logistics (UK) Ltd and Honda of the UK Manufacturing Ltd (HUM) have jointly won the IT Innovation category at the inaugural Automotive Global Supply Chain Awards event in Frankfurt.
The event, which recognises excellence throughout the automotive supply chain, was attended by an international line-up of OEM’s and supply chain representatives, from 3PLs to shipping lines.
This is the second award that the HUM and Yusen Logistics partnership have won in the last month.
Richard Marlow, Department Manager, External Logistics at HUM, comments: “We are absolutely delighted with this second award win. Yusen Logistics’ technology controls a complex supply chain which enables the annual production of 190,000 cars. The solution has underpinned the consolidation of our UK inbound material management, enhancing visibility and control of component flows into the Swindon plant. This, in turn, has been instrumental in supporting the reduction of inventory in our inbound supply chain.”
Yusen Logistics IT Director, Richard Hannay, explains: “HUM and Yusen Logistics have worked in partnership, focusing with absolute determination to deliver technology which is innovative, practical and robust. To win not one, but two prestigious awards in the space of one month is a fantastic recognition of everyone’s hard work.”
