Food Sector Company
Setting
Since food sector companies devote its products for human consumption, they have a strict regulation to comply with, which can slow down the delivery process to the client, generating delays and fines for failure to comply with dates.
Situation
The Company would lose time and money transshipping at the border because of a lack of understanding of the needs of the client regarding the reception of the goods. Based on an analysis made directly at the site, we realized that the client suppliers didn’t comply with the delivery dates they’d compromised to and either wouldn’t send any additional commercial documentation on time. This, added to the fact that there were many partial deliveries that would just increase the inventory, reduced the use of storage spaces and generated unnecessary extra costs.

The aim is to optimize times, avoiding transshipments and reducing the need to have bigger stocks, giving the company the opportunity to invest these financial resources in new projects that can contribute to its growth.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Setting
The pharmaceutical industry belongs to a very specific market sector which demands taking swift action as it must ensure the preservation of merchandise because at stake is the health and life of living beings.
Situation
The Company was sending medicines for human consumption from Mexico to the USA, however, the kind of product they were shipping requires refrigeration equipment and fast shipment conditions. Therefore, the customs dispatch time had to be close to immediate in order to keep the preservation costs in the low end.
Based on the effected analysis, it was detected that, in spite of the fact that the Mexican shipper was sending the commercial documentation on time, the days spent at the border were insufficiently few, since the shipments were sent normally during weekends and would arrive at the border with a very small timeframe for the dispatch, considering they normally had to stay halted during non-business days.

Together with the client, we got to make a planning of the cargo dates in order for them to be at the beginning of the business week, arrive at the border around mid-week and be dispatched for their arrival to the final destination the next Monday, first thing in the morning, which prevented the payment of extra costs of 1000 USD per shipment, and gave the company the capacity to ensure an on time delivery of the perishable drugs.
