Background
Unilever’s Supply Chain is widely recognized internally and externally as one of the best run supply chains. Logistics within Unilever’s SC aims to be best in class by being customer centric, responsible, digitally enabled and providing significant competitive value to the organization.
Logistics Analytics: We have a set of strategic Transportation & Warehousing planning & execution systems built around core enterprise technologies, surround applications & a wide variety of 3P systems. Historically, data and technology adaptation to business processes have seen varying scales of homogeneity as well as variances, across markets. Decision making at various levels of the organization depends on the quality, integration, and accessibility of its data, as well as the business’ ability to use it effectively. Both data quality and Business intelligence capabilities are essential for scaling digitally enabled growth through insight-led decision making. To drive this, we are accelerating the deployment of inter-connected Descriptive analytics dashboards in the Unilever Data Lake & also delivering cutting-edge Predictive recommendations using Advanced Analytical capabilities like Aera. By leveraging in-house product, data & technology expertise & capabilities, which are not only leading-edge, but also more integrated and more user-friendly, we will establish the base platform for the next phases of digital enablement across the business. Another critical piece is to ingest data from a wide variety of internal/external sources to the Unilever Data Lake. We have successfully hydrated the Unilever Data Lake (UDL) with majority of Unilever enterprise data and yet the scope to cover external sources is massive. Overall, in this area, the key Programs include: Logistics Livewire, Logistics Analytics – Data Foundation & other Warehouse Digitization initiatives.
Ocean Logistics: Unilever is a leading shipper in Ocean transport with yearly volumes of 250,000 containers across Finished Goods and part of Raw & Pack material portfolio globally. Getting our products into the hands of the 2.5 billion consumers in 190 countries who use them daily requires complex logistics. And an integral part of that is ocean shipping. At any given time, we have around 12,000 containers on 1,500 ships criss-crossing the seas with raw materials, packaging and finished goods. In fact, by the time you finish reading this article, another Unilever container will have started its journey. Shipping is one of the oldest industries in the world and getting a container across waters involves numerous parties from customs agents and port authorities to inland transporters and freight forwarders. Across all these, there’s a multitude of information systems that don’t talk to each other, which results in lack of end-to-end visibility.
