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
