DB Schenker Automotive Logistics Overview

DB Schenker is a leading international provider of integrated logistics services for the Automotive Industry.

As a long-standing specialist in this sector, DB Schenker has applied its extensive experience to creating customized Automotive Logistic solutions that improve timing for critical processes, while eliminating those that do not add value.

An Experienced Supply Chain Partner

DB Schenker solutions have the flexibility and scope to address multiple logistic requirements. For inbound functions, DB Schenker’s supply chain management solutions can start with a bill of material (BOM) receipt and end at the point of fit in an assembly plant, encompassing every touch point in between. Solutions can also be expanded to include assembly and quality tasks within a customer’s site.
For outbound requirements, DB Schenker has developed global CKD (complete knock-down) and SKD (semi knock-down) operations that include packaging design and management of returns.

The DB Schenker Advantage

Logistics outsourcing requirements can change from organization to organization, depending on their specific needs and priorities. As an Integrated Logistics Service Provider, DB Schenker Automotive Logistics works with automotive customers to identify those processes within the supply chain that can boost performance, maximize cost efficiency and generate added value through outsourcing.

DB Schenker customizes its logistics services to manage these targeted processes, combining them with the most appropriate IT, warehousing, production or transport resources. As needs and processes evolve, DB Schenker can build on these foundations and increase its operational and management role to further facilitate and streamline supply chain activities over time.
