Storage and Distribution
NDC - New Distribution Concept - is one of our single largest
investments in customer service. It comprises two distribution
centres in Europe and two in North America. Modern on-line
computer processes ensure prompt and reliable deliveries
and minimise stock handling for our customers.
The NDC system provides continuously updated information
to our production units. This allows them to produce the
right products quickly and maintain high stock security.
At the Sales Units the order is entered on-line with the
distribution centre.The distribution centres are responsible
for order picking, packing and despatching. The screen
informs the picker which product to collect and where it is
located. By scanning the bar code the order confirmation is
shown on screen.
The whole system is paperless up to the final printing of
despatch documents. We aim to provide 95% stock availability
for all products, but 100% availability for key products.
