Multi-brand automotive retailer - Network strategy

Key challenges

Alignment with US entity: The client had to align its local supply chain with a major US entity following its acquisition. This required meeting cost-to-sale targets, managing growth, and implementing operational and technological advancements in line with US facility standards.

Our approach

TMX was engaged by the client to develop a supply chain strategy that considered the future growth plans across all business units and identified the lowest operating cost solution. TMX did this through:

• A supply chain strategy was developed for the optimal future network.
• The distribution center (DC) network supported brands and the customer value proposition.
• Supply processes were consolidated to fractionalize costs across the brands.
• Tactical improvements (to fund future network development) and system solutions were developed.
• The supporting business case and implementation roadmap.

The results

Following business sign-off of the strategy, the commencement of design and planning for a new DC in Brisbane, Australia was initiated, ensuring a proactive approach to strategic implementation.
