Delhi, India:
Nissan inaugurated its new Regional Parts Distribution Centre for north
India as part of its commitment to continuously improve customer service.
The new facility,
which is situated at Luhari, Gurgaon, Haryana and is built over an extensive
97,500 sq. feet (9050 sq. metre) area, will help to reduce the delivery lead
times of parts to Nissan customers by up to nine days.
In addition, the
reduced lead times will benefit Nissan dealerships across the region by making
it easier to plan and optimize space required for parts storage, as well as
assisting with the management of working capital.
Announcing the
opening of the new facility, which creates 57 jobs, Arun Malhotra, Managing Director, Nissan Motor India Pvt. Ltd (NMIPL)
said, “Our new Regional Parts Distribution Centre significantly strengthens our
after sales operations in north India.”
"We believe
strongly that after sales service is key to customer satisfaction and the
punctual, quick and efficient delivery of parts is an important contributor to
this. The new facility will allow faster and more frequent deliveries,
increasing the convenience for our end users”, he added.
NMIPL has achieved
consistent improvement in parts availability with a fill rate - which measures
how many customer orders can be met from existing inventory - of 97% in the
2014 fiscal year, which is amongst the best in the Indian automotive industry.
As well as separate
office and canteen blocks, the facility's huge material storage area comprises
heavy duty racking, shelving racks, stillages and trolleys, while
state-of-the-art forklifts and reach trucks are used for parts handling.
In addition to the
distribution centre, NMIPL has also launched a new, multi-depot software system
capable of ensuring smooth parts transfer and order completion under various
conditions.
