Penske and Knoll Inc.
Improving reliability while keeping costs low.
Knoll Incorporated is a global leader in office furnishings, design and manufacturing. Increasing cost pressures caused the company to source lower cost components in Asia. Although Knoll improved pricing, its delivery reliability was poor, and transportation costs were eroding potential savings. The company needed a cost-effective international transportation management process that allowed increased visibility. Penske developed a single-provider process. One team is responsible for vendor management, transportation, order management, warehousing and container consolidation. The results? Freight savings and increased order visibility yielding nearly a 50-percent reduction of air freight requirements.
