Returnable Packaging Management

The inbound supply flow of parts and components connects your company’s entire supplier network to your production process.

Tegma offers complete, customized solutions for managing supply flows of raw materials, parts and components, integrating suppliers and industrial production or assembly plants in an agile, efficient and cost-effective way.

Collection from suppliers (Milk Run¹), consolidation and transfer to industrial plants, management and control of packaging for parts and supply of production lines.

Receiving materials in the requested quantity, at the right place, at the right time (just in time) and free of damage is essential for production processes to run without interruption, ensuring the assembly and delivery of finished products.

Among the most common challenges identified in this process, which can severely compromise the performance of a regular supply, we highlight:

• The high complexity of the operation;
• Lack of traceability;
• Inefficient collection and transfer network design;
• Low vehicle occupancy due to non-standardized packaging and poor collection planning;
• Supplier-owned packaging;
• High rate of damaged parts
