Watch: How Ford digitalised and insourced global supply chain processes | Your Questions Answered Part II with Amlan Bose

Ford’s decision to insource its fourth party logistics (4PL) services in India in 2018 marked a significant change for the company. Instead of relying on a provider to optimise and manage its logistics services, it instead built up internal resource and rolled out a new TMS and integrated planning system. Two years later, and not only has the system been a success in India, but it has been rolled out across several other regions, including Thailand, South Africa, with implementation underway for Brazil and Argentina.

And that won’t be the end of the journey. In this video, Ford’s Amlan Bose, who heads up inbound, exports, supply chain and digitalisation projects for the company’s global centre of excellence, returns to talk to Christopher Ludwig about more details of the project and about Ford’s ongoing digital supply chain initiatives, and the role that they are playing during the Covid-19 crisis.
