BSL delivers panel for tanker testing in 10 days
In just ten days BSL designed, built and delivered a control panel to General Trailers in Norwich for the testing of road tanker containers.
It is designed to be one of the most efficient, environmentally-friendly and safest in the world, and is due to become fully operational this year.
Brammer was awarded the contract to cover the provision of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) products and services for this new plant in November 2006, deploying a team of eight dedicated staff to Iceland on an ex-pat basis from February 2007 to establish and manage operations for the past year.
The team has now been on-site for almost one year.
In that time it has established a supply chain for 120 new global suppliers with 5380 individual line items ordered, assisting Alcoa with its vendor reduction programme and significantly reducing transactional costs.
Brammer will help Alcoa relocate two off-site warehouses into one best-in-class, semiautomated central warehouse facility and will introduce a vendor management inventory (VMI) programme to reduce Alcoa's investment in working capital and an OEM parts conversion process to maximise production efficiencies over the coming months.
