TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited (TVS SCS), a leading player in the Indian logistics landscape, has further strengthened its long-standing partnership with VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) by securing a new three-year contract. The company signed an agreement with VECV to manage the in-plant warehousing and logistics operations at VECV’s Eicher bus factory in Baggad, Madhya Pradesh.

History of Collaboration

Optimising Bus Production Efficiency

Under the terms of the new agreement, TVS SCS will assume responsibility for a range of critical logistical functions at the Eicher bus factory. These services include:

• Seamless Inward Operations: Ensuring the timely receipt of parts is crucial for maintaining efficient production lines. TVS SCS will implement a streamlined system for receiving parts, minimising delays and disruptions.
• Efficient Storage and Picking: TVS SCS will manage the efficient storage and picking of parts within the facility. By utilising a well-defined warehousing system and leveraging Production Planning Control (PPC) data, TVS SCS will ensure parts are readily available when needed on the assembly lines.
• Delivery to Assembly Lines: TVS SCS will deliver parts to designated assembly lines based on Bill of Material (BOM) requirements. This ensures a steady flow of materials, allowing the production process to operate at peak efficiency.
