Logistics Approach To move goods from suppliers to depots, and then to stores, there

is a need to transport by sea, air, rail and road – this contributes to the company’s carbon footprint

Aim : Link the right stores geographically to the right depots to reduce

transport miles

Some delivery options : Example for non food goods :

Standard Delivery Next Day Delivery Named Day Delivery Saturday Delivery Click and Collect

3PL Contract Logistics Sainsbury’s is a great customer for 3PL providers :Of Sainsbury's network of 20 distribution centres :

6 are operated in-house The remaining are outsourced to a range of logistics service providers.

Sainsbury's is outsourcing more of its network to third party logistics providers than Asda and Tesco.

Various providers including Unipart and AllportExample of Unipart :

Chosen in 2009 by Sainsbury's to be its non-food fulfilment provider Unipart employs over 8,000 people worldwide, Turnover of over £1billion and is one of Europe’s leading logistics

companies

Example of Allport In 2011, Sainsbury’s signed up international logistic s & supply chain firm

Allport to also run its freight management service One of the biggest provider for UK retail.

offer something different and focus on continuous improvement bring commercial advantage to the Sainsbury's Logistics

division support Sainsbury’s long term strategy for growth of non-food

ranges and provide a broader shopping experience

3 examples of the use of Third Party Logistics Providers by

Sainsbury’s :

Transportation Order Entry, processing &

fulfilmentPackaging

Transportation Selection of providers like :

CEVA Logistics for home delivery Allport for non-food goods …

What was done by providers ? Train drivers to drive efficiently, and introduced double-decker lorries,

which transport more goods in a single journey Through primary transport operations (supplier to depot) and secondary

transport operations (depot to store) Sainsbury’s are cutting CO2 emissions In primary operations, Sainsbury’s use empty trucks to collect goods from

suppliers on their way back from store deliveries - the number of collections has now reached over 140,000 per year

In secondary operations, a focused project on vehicle fill has led to improvements of more than 1.5 per cent across entire store delivery flee

Achieved a reduction of over 1,800,000 vehicle kilometers this year, by using fleets more efficiently

An help to meet the green challenge (by using all types of transportation : air, water, rail, road)

Order Entry, processing & fulfilment through video conferencing

Sainsbury’s Logistics selected AVM and BCS Global to expand their video infrastructure : tool = Virtual Presence video conferencing

Use of video conferencing to improve productivity of employees in logistics

Video conferencing an on-demand service It could be used :

any time for multipoint and point-to-point meetings with continuous presence and 24 hour customer support.

Prior to the implementation of Virtual Presence : Lot of working travels across the UK to attend meetings (costs time and

money)

Now by using Virtual Presence video conferencing : Employees can hold meetings instantaneously, When they finish the call, simply get on with their work.
