DUFERCO LOGISTICS HANDLES<br />
WORLDWIDE LOGISTICS FOR THE DUFERCO<br />
GROUP.<br />
Recovering supply chain efficiency through original logistic solutions is our imperative<br />
target during this severe decline in economic activities across the world.<br />
Supply chain management has emerged as the key to the financial success of the<br />
company; hence, our efforts are concentrated on aligning our company business<br />
strategy.<br />
To benchmark our performance in terms of lead times, compliance and cost levels:<br />
We constantly assess how we compare against competitors and top performers.<br />
During tough economic times, market demand creates new requirements which involve<br />
complex processes. Furthermore, globalisation and its long supply chain raise natural<br />
questions of location and the number of facilities, besides logistic strategies.<br />
Networks and logistic solutions, established years ago, may be costly or unresponsive<br />
today. Our task is to work on ports, land infrastructure constraints, select the best<br />
performers as logistic partners, optimise transportation costs and reduce the long lead<br />
times, thereby increasing overall quality.<br />
ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System, already in force for ferroalloys, chemicals<br />
and refractory, will be progressively extended to all ranges of steel products.<br />
