3. Dispatch Logistics

Within the framework of the production system (BPS) implemented by Bosch the target is to transition from two-stage inventory levels to supply chain management without inventory levels. In addition to classic transportation concepts using an area bounded forwarder (GSP), more and more milk run transport concepts are being implemented. In comparison to the GSP concept, the milk run concept uses exact predefined time windows (where applicable multiple times daily) to manage pickups. Milk runs are ideally used in combination with pull systems (e.g. KANBAN) and are used for high frequent deliveries with consistant consumption.

For overseas and regional suppliers the mentioned transport concepts will be done via cross docks.

For local suppliers and A,B parts Ship to Line deliveries are used.

Special features regarding the above-mentioned transport concepts are detailed in the following chapters.

For deliveries to BOSCH plants in North America SUPPLIER has to consider specific shipping instructions and packaging/labeling guidelines to be found at the following link: http://www.Boschnasuppliers.com.

3.1Shipping Procedure

When accepting the delivery for shipping, the carrier acknowledges receipt of the quantity and type of parcel or packing unit, but not its content, value or weight.

All paperwork including the bill of lading, the packing slip, and/or commercial invoices are to be sent with the carrier separate from the material at the time of shipment.

Pick-up times and assigned time windows at SUPPLIER’s location and other specific requirements are to be agreed between SUPPLIER and carrier/ 3PL or are defined in the milk run concept.

The prompt, complete and safe delivery to BOSCH has top priority.

3.1.1Carriers

The Bosch-specified freight forwarders and parcel services are generally to be used. Exceptions shall be permitted only in specific cases and only upon prior written consent of the respective BOSCH facility.
