Logistics
Logistics is about connecting production, planning, and customer needs. At Timmerije, we ensure that plastic injection molded products are always delivered on time and in the right quantities. With just-in-time agreements, flexible storage options, and future-proof logistics solutions, we support every supply chain. Thanks to close cooperation between planning, internal sales, shipping, and IT, our processes are perfectly aligned with customer requirements.
What is logistics?
Logistics is the careful planning, coordination, and execution of all activities necessary to bring products from the manufacturer to the end user. It encompasses not only transportation, but also storage, inventory management, order processing, and communication between all parties involved.
In the plastics industry, reliable logistics are crucial because products are often part of a larger whole and are produced to customer specifications. When deliveries are delayed, this can bring customers’ operations or production to a standstill. Well-organized logistics ensure continuity and enable products to be delivered flexibly and reliably.
Our focus on delivery reliability
The customer-specific development of plastic products also includes delivery that is fully tailored to the customer’s wishes. In order to be able to deliver just-in-time, we make clear agreements about order and delivery times. Compliance with these agreements requires daily coordination, with our internal sales and shipping departments working closely together. Because the internal sales department is part of the supply chain, lines of communication remain short and we can respond quickly to changes. In order to guarantee high delivery reliability, Timmerije focuses on the following points:
- Customer-specific planning and agreements
Every customer has their own process and schedule. That is why we tailor our deliveries precisely to the agreements made. Whether it concerns just-in-time deliveries, fixed delivery days, or different quantities, we ensure that the plastic products are always available at exactly the right time and in the right quantity. This prevents unnecessary stockpiling and keeps the supply chain predictable and stable. - Flexible logistics solutions
No two customers or products are the same. That is why we offer a range of transport packaging, storage options, and ordering methods to suit the specific needs of each customer. This flexibility allows us to respond quickly to changes in demand or peak loads. This ensures continuity and enables us to respond optimally to market dynamics. - Intensive collaboration and proactive planning
Our internal sales, planning, and shipping departments work closely together on a daily basis to coordinate deliveries efficiently. Using forecasting and digital systems, we gain timely insight into future demand, enabling us to plan deliveries in advance and prevent delays. This ensures that continuity is never compromised for the customer.
Smart inventory management
At Timmerije, we see inventory management as more than just storage. It is a strategic tool for ensuring continuity and flexibility. By using dynamic inventory planning, safety stocks, and smart storage solutions, we ensure that plastic products are always available when our customers need them. This proactive approach enables us to respond quickly to changes in demand and production without creating unnecessary inventory.
Always enough, never too much
Our approach focuses on achieving the optimal balance: sufficient stock to guarantee deliveries at all times, but never more than necessary. Thanks to real-time insight into orders, demand forecasts, and stock levels, we can accurately tailor production and supply to the actual needs of the customer. This allows us to respond quickly to unexpected orders or seasonal fluctuations, while minimizing storage costs. In this way, we ensure that our logistics remain reliable, efficient, and future-proof.
