Managing Asia’s most complex supply chain ecosystem – China Ofshore Wind Power

When facing the complex supply chain environment in China, one solution is to employ an independent Lead Logistics Management company. An independent company can provide neutral management of your supply chain, help you to minimize your costs and maximize eficiency, while also acting as the liaison between manufacturer and supply chain. They can provide strategic and consultative support, and manage certain processes where your team might have gaps in operational expertise, for example possibly quality control or equipment inspection. That is just what SWP did in 2008. They were establishing a blade factory production unit in Lingang Industrial Park, to complement an already existing outsourced tower manufacturing unit in Lianyungang, managed by CS Wind, and Nacelle and ofshore facilities that were incorporated in the Jiangsu and Shandong districts. SWP hired Turnkey as their dedicated LLP to help them develop an efective supply chain strategy, alongside the implementation of logistical solutions to assist SWP in executing a long term supply chain strategy. This white paper will discuss in detail how an independent Lead Logistics Management company, can support and benefit a wind energy company when entering the Chinese market and will provide specific examples from the SWP-Turnkey case study

Life Maps and Supply Planning Maps

whitePaper | December 2, 2019

I met Janie at college. She was dating my roommate, Fred, who was a total knucklehead. Sound familiar? Our two children are now at college. Tuition runs a bit north of $100,000 annually. Both kids are stellar students and athletes, so I’m ‘okay’ with the spending the cash. Janie has a boutique on-line travel business, which is earning more than I do, as Janie reminds me whenever I complain about the kids' tuitions. I’ve recently accepted a role as Vice President of Operations with a very promising consumer packaged goods company in the Pacific Northwest.

It is now accelerating toward mass market adoption, particularly in states taking proactive measures to encourage transportation electrification. New York and Massachusetts have made transportation decarbonization a priority: in 2021, New York adopted legislation targeting 100% zeroemission vehicle sales for passenger vehicles by 2035, and both states have adopted the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation, which mandates an increasing number of zeroemission medium- and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) sales starting in 2025.

It’s hard to say just one technology will transform the maritime industry. The interplay and overlap between the technology areas are crucial, but this transformation has yet to make a significant impact on shipping.
