Make time:matters your homepage A cell phone manufacturer requires an electrical spare part for one of its factories in Finland before 2:00 on Monday night. The electrical component has to be transported from Utrecht, which is where it is manufactured, to Southwest Finland as fast as possible.
Â
The spare part weighing two kilograms will not be finished until 16:30 on Monday afternoon. It is essential for the customer that the spare part reaches the factory in Finland within nine and a half hours – so this is a real sameday shipment.
Â
The Special Service Desk employee arranges for a driver to pick up the electrical spare part fresh off the line punctually at 16:30 at the factory in Utrecht. It takes approximately one hour to drive from there to Amsterdam Airport. The formalities for the next (KLM-) flight to Helsinki scheduled to depart an hour and a half later have already been taken care of; this in turn significantly simplifies the on-site handling. The plane carrying the express shipment lands on time at 22:30 in Helsinki. A mere 60 minutes later the spare part is ready to be picked up and a road courier immediately drives it to the destination 200 kilometers away, where it is handed over to the customer at 1:30 - before the deadline expires. This translates into considerable savings for the customer in terms of the costs that would have been caused by the assembly line coming to a standstill.
