Efficient Delivery Case Study of Stainless Steel Raw Materials: A Seamless Process from Order to Delivery
—A Collaboration Case with a New Energy Vehicle Parts Manufacturer
In today’s global supply chains, the timely delivery and quality assurance of stainless steel raw materials directly impact customers’ production schedules and cost control. This article reveals how our company leveraged intelligent warehouse management, customized packaging solutions, and global logistics collaboration to fulfill an urgent cross-border order for a new energy vehicle manufacturer, ensuring their production line achieved “zero downtime.”
I. Project Background: Client Requirements & Core Challenges
Client Requirements
Product Specifications: 316L stainless steel coils (thickness 0.5mm, width 1500mm, BA bright annealed finish).
Delivery Requirements: Production, inspection, packaging, and delivery to a German factory within 15 days (sea + land transport).
Additional Needs: Material composition reports (EN 10088 standard) and anti-rust protection solutions.
Core Challenges
Tight Deadlines: The client’s original supplier delayed, requiring emergency replenishment.
Transportation Risks: Humid maritime environments necessitated oxidation prevention.
Compliance: Strict EU RoHS regulations on heavy metal content.
II. Solution: End-to-End Efficiency
1. Smart Scheduling & Precision Preparation
Inventory Matching: ERP system identified in-stock materials at Changzhou bonded warehouse (compliant with EN 1.4404), reducing production lead time.
Priority Processing: Activated “emergency channel” to complete slitting, surface reinspection, and laser marking within 24 hours.
2. Customized Packaging Design
Layer
Materials/Techniques
Function
Inner Layer
VCI anti-rust paper + desiccant
Blocks moisture, prevents oxidation during transit.
Middle Layer
Corrugated board spacers
Prevents coil deformation from impacts.
Outer Layer
Steel-reinforced wooden crate (IPPC-certified)
Pressure- and moisture-resistant, compliant with international standards.
3. Optimized Logistics
Route Design: Shanghai Port → Hamburg Port (direct route, 21-day voyage) + local German trucking for “door-to-door” delivery.
Real-Time Tracking: IoT sensors enabled clients to monitor temperature, humidity, location, and vibration data online.
4. Compliance Assurance
Certification: Provided RoHS, REACH test reports (issued by SGS) and origin certificates.
Pre-Clearance: Collaborated with German customs brokers for pre-submitted documentation, avoiding port delays.
