Bosch Supplier Logistics Manual, Release. 3.0
Robert Bosch GmbH, CP/LOG, 07.05.2007 Page 12(35)
With VMI, as a rule, gross demands (= production demands) are transmitted instead of delivery call-
offs. SUPPLIER will control the delivery to assure VMI stock to be between the agreed min/ max limits
(see also 1.2.3).
In VMI process material and production releases are based on gross demands. As valid periods for
these releases, intervals defined in the delivery contract are applied correspondingly.
1.3.6 Order Processing Using the DCM or Kanban Process
With KANBAN the consumption of a KANBAN container triggers a release. The refilling of the empty
KANBAN must be done in defined intervalls. Transmission of the electronic KANBAN will be done
either with WebEDI or existing interfaces in classical EDI.
1.4 Controlling of Logistics Performance
SUPPLIER shall monitor the following variables as a minimum in order to record its logistics
performance and make the results available on request. Visual presentation of the results on site by
SUPPLIER is recommended.
1.4.1 Delivery Performance
SUPPLIER shall operate a system to monitor and, at least on a monthly basis, measure its delivery
compliance (in terms of delivery dates and quantities) to the delivery requests of the receiving BOSCH
plant.
1.4.2 Premium Freight
Premium freight (also named special deliveries or expedited shipments) is considered to be outside
the standard logistics handling as agreed between SUPPLIER and BOSCH in the supply contract.
Premium freight is used when there is a risk to disrupt production as this cost is much higher than
normal transportation.
SUPPLIER shall record, at least on a monthly basis, the premium freight for which it has been
responsible (including as a minimum the instances of such shipments, the additional freight costs, and
the cause). SUPPLIER must be prepared to provide information about premium freights – if required
by BOSCH.
