Production Logistics

Our focus

AIH Group is an automotive production logistics service provider for value-adding supply to manufacturing operations. We deliver services to clients through a centralised consolidation centre or directly at their facilities. Our focus is to optimise the supply chain and enhance efficiency and reliability in delivering to OEMs and Tier 1 clients.

Service offering

We provide comprehensive sub-assembly services tailored for OEMs and tier 1-3 suppliers. Following assembly, we supply modules directly from our center to the OEM production line, utilising a batch or Just-In-Time (JIT) approach. This ensures that components are delivered precisely when needed, minimising downtime and maximising productivity.

Understanding the demands of high-volume production, AIH is committed to delivering components Just-In-Time (JIT) and Just-In-Sequence (JIS). Our systems integrate seamlessly with suppliers and OEMs, leveraging advanced IT solutions to synchronise deliveries with production schedules, thereby optimising workflow and reducing inventory costs.

AIH operates a purpose-built stock management system that integrates with our OEM partners in a synchronized manner. This integration allows for real-time stock control and management, ensuring timely deliveries and accurate inventory levels, all contributing to a streamlined production process.

We maintain a fleet of dedicated transport vehicles, ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of goods to our clients. Our logistics team is trained to handle the complexities of automotive parts transport, guaranteeing that components arrive on time and in optimal condition.

Our logistics service extends to line-loading directly at the OEM assembly lines. This process ensures that components are delivered and organized efficiently, ready for immediate use in the production process, thereby enhancing assembly line productivity.
