JOHN DEERE
Deere and Company (brand name John Deere) is well known for the manufacture
and supply of machinery used in agriculture, construction and forestry, as well
as diesel engines and lawn care equipment. In 2014, Deere and Company was
listed 80th in the Fortune 500 America's ranking and in 2013 was 307th in the
Fortune Global 500 ranking. Deere and company has a complex product range,
which includes a mix of heavy machinery for the consumer market and industrial
equipment which is made to order. Retail activity is extremely seasonal, with
the majority of sales made between March and July.
The company was replenishing dealers inventory on a weekly basis, by direct
shipment and cross-docking operations, from source warehouses located near
Deere and Company's manufacturing facilities. This operation was proving too
costly and too slow, so the company embarked on an initiative to achieve a 10%
supply chain cost reduction over a four-year period. The company undertook
a supply chain network redesign program, resulting in the commissioning of
intermediate "merge centers" and optimization of cross-dock terminal locations.
Deere and Company also began consolidating shipments and using break-bulk
terminals during the seasonal peak. The company also increased its use of
third party logistics providers and effectively created a network which could be
tactically optimized at any given point in time.
Deere and Company's supply chain cost management achievements included
inventory reduction of billion, a significant reduction in customer delivery lead
times (from ten days to five or less) and annual transportation cost savings of
around 5%.
