The vehicles found in the central warehouses of the leading car-manufacturing firms in Turkey, are transported by Reysaş to the dealers’ workplaces in coordination with the firm, within the framework of the cargo programs. Through the passwords given to the dealers with the satellite monitoring system used by Reysaş for all its vehicles, instant data can be received on the exact location of the vehicles.

Since Reysaş aims to achieve zero damages in all its transportation activities, the trucks of whose loading operations are completed, pass through the checkpoint before exiting from the gate, and depart from the area after receiving the final confirmation.

Our drivers receive periodical training programs for all types of vehicles at the Reysaş Academy Training Center. Based on the understanding that “No matter how impeccable cars you manufacture, it will not be important unless you deliver these cars to the customers in an equally impeccable manner”, the dealer distribution of the cars manufactured by the major car manufacturing firms in Turkey, and all operations concerning loading and unloading of the cars on the boats, are performed by our professional team with great care and attention.

Car Warehousing – PDI Services

We own vehicle warehousing area covering a space of 95,000 m², which is under constant supervision by the most advanced security systems for 24 hours a day. Electronic addressing and barcoding systems are used in our areas and prior to their dispatch; data concerning the location of the vehicles can be monitored in detail through their chassis numbers.
The inspection procedure applied on the vehicles prior to the delivery of the vehicles of whose final import procedures are finalized, and of whose production processes are completed, for the determination and elimination of all defects, is called “Pre-Delivery Inspection” (PDI).
During this process, the vehicles are inspected with great scrutiny by teams who are fully trained and specialized in PDI work. The parts that have arrived in dismantled form are reassembled. Checks are applied to determine the damaged or missing parts, followed by the washing and cleaning services.

Car Manufacturing Logistics

The need to undertake and combine all manufacturing process under a single roof, which was initiated by Henry Ford, has presently reached its final point. The term “final point” mentioned here implies the approach that although the current stage does not represent the final stage, the concept of “continuous improvement” has made it possible for us to determine and correct any probable errors that might occur during every phase of the manufacturing process.

Accordingly; aware of the fact that the almost perfect manufacturing means manufacturing with minimum losses, the manufacturers are forced to reduce the losses to the “zero” level, to achieve optimum quality standards with minimum costs and within a minimum period of time, and to deliver their products to the end consumers within a minimum period of time.

In today’s manufacturing activities, taking into consideration both quality and cost factors regarding each product, certain components are manufactured by supplier industries that are specialized in their own areas, and that are assigned to ensure the desired level of quality, and are shipped to the parent company, to be used in the manufacturing of the main product. In supplier industries, the auxiliary parts and components are shipped by logistic partners who have achieved perfection in their areas, during all the stages of production, from the stage of production of the parts and components, to the production line of the Parent industry.

Milkrun logistics, is a supply chain management approach, and consists of the simplification of the quantities to be supplied and the types of cargo on the basis of packaging approach, and the management of supply chain on the basis of the following formula: number of empty boxes= full boxes corresponding to the number of “used parts” = “number of parts to be used”. Information relating to the packages that have entered into the process on one side of the production line and their contents, are carried to the previous step through simple cards known as “kanban” , which means “cards” and the integrity of the production is preserved and continued until the level of the suppliers. Based on this simple logic, it is possible to carry only the quantity of the materials that will be produced, and to supply in accordance with the production lot quantities determined by the package.

Milkrun logistics management means “speed” and “the elimination of all uncertainties”, in other words, “maximum control”. For any probable situation that might occur, A, B and C plans must constantly be running. It entails the state of being constantly alert, as if the worst scenarios that can ever happen have occurred. In a case when materials are delivered to a production process that has stocks that can last for an hour, the occurrence of a delay will result in the halting of a production process, which involves thousands of workers; and to avoid such a mishap, a highly specialized team and a continuous training, and discipline is needed. Systems that are built on the basis of correct rules gain accuracy and persistence through adherence to the principle of continuous improvement. The logistics services must be performed without any delays or failures throughout 24 hours each day.

Reysaş is providing Milkrun services on the roads of Turkey since 1990, and has retained its leadership status in its own field. Reysaş owes this achievement to its superior capacity and its capability to make swift decisions, as well as its preference on a dynamic and flexible structure rather than an inert and inflexible structure. Concurrent with the Mikrun management, Reysaş has based its decisions relating to investment and strategy, on its commitment to procure what is needed at the moment when such need emerges.
