To achieve our objectives, we must honor our commitments. In brief, NedCar abides by its promises and agreements. Without exception.

To help us in this we have developed various logistics processes, including our Pearl Chain concept. The interplay of these processes offers us the flexibility we need to produce to order efficiently, without problems or difficulties. These systems, developed in-house at NedCar, also mean that unexpected events or peaks in production can be handled smoothly. Furthermore, they make it possible for us to reduce inventory costs by shortening the period that parts are held in stock from approximately one week to less than a couple of days. 
To ensure consistently high efficiency throughout the build process, NedCar has developed a logistics planning system. In this ‘Pearl Chain’ concept, all the parts needed to build the car are planned and followed-up from the moment they are ordered until the time they are delivered.

All requirements are inventoried and incoming orders are registered on a daily basis. In that way, each individual order for a car becomes a 'pearl in the chain'. According to the specifications of the car which is to be built, a call-off order for the required parts is sent at exactly the right time to NedCar’s ‘warehouse on wheels’.

Electric pallet trucks (EPTs) and reach trucks collect the empty bins and automatically replace them with full ones. Thanks to this system, the parts arrive exactly on time at the location where they are needed and the production personnel no longer have to keep an eye on stock levels. That saves time, space and expensive inventories.
