3 How does it work? One of the first 3PLs to develop a standardised PVMI solution. DB Schenker s Production Vendor Managed Inventory (PVMI) Solution provides specific processes and tools to meet the different needs of OEMs, contract manufacturers and component suppliers. This solution includes vendor hub management at origin, local & cross border transportation, destination supply hub operation as well as plant manufacturing support. With a client list including some of the most respected brands in the electronics market and with over sixty VMI implementations worldwide, our PVMI solution is proven to reduce inventory carrying and liability costs while increasing the velocity of customer orders and vendor replenishments. We achieve these benefits by establishing global VMI hubs linked into a network using DB Schenker s IT solutions combined with global support and operations teams. Production vendor managed inventory With more than 50 proven PVMI operations, DB Schenker delivers just-in-time replenishments to manufacturing partners. Core competencies are material management, inventory ownership, and end-to-end visibility as well as a global 24/7 customer service center. Shifting the inventory costs and liability to the vendors Vendors Vendors supply components to the DB Schenker PVMI hub according to forecasts, purchase orders, or inventory alerts. Inventory costs and liability remain with the vendors until the material is consumed by the manufacturing partner. Vendor A Vendor B Vendor C CSC The multilingual global customer service center is the single point of contact for all involved parties, especially for the hundreds of vendors. All kinds of enquiries, requests, and case resolutions are tracked and solved via the CSC. Our experienced and personalised CSC operates 24/7 and can be reached via web portal, mail, and phone.

Global CSC multilingual Customer Service Centre operating 24/7, dealing with inquiries, case resolutions/ tracking and reporting. Complete suite of B2B messages with automated linkage - to manufacturing partners, vendors, carriers as well as third party billing support. Vendor DB Schenker PVMI Hub Ownership transfer after consumption Manufacturing partner The PVMI concept primarily is about freeing up inventory carrying costs from the manufacturing partner and transferring it back to the vendor. This allows the manufacturing partner to utilize this money in other areas as they pay for components only as they are consumed, versus paying when the components leave the vendors origin. Another value is the shifting of the liability of loss (freight and hub) to the vendor. Global IT visibility DB Schenker guarantees end-to-end visibility across the entire supply chain through our robust and reliable IT infrastructure. It provides ownership transfer information, hub inventory visibility, min./max. alerts, centralized KPI, consumption trend analysis, and vendor performance management. DB Schenker proactively monitors system connectivities among vendors, carriers, and the manufacturing partners. Buyer Manufacturer Manufacturing partner The manufacturing partner produces material to a building plan; from this a material request is sent to the PVMI hub, upon which components are picked, packed, and delivered according to the manufacturing partners requirements. 4 5

5 How does it work? Reverse logistics Maximising customers assets while minimising environmental impact: reverse logistics one of the most complex areas within the supply chain. DB Schenke offers a proven and intelligent solution for all processes associated with the reverse stream of damaged goods and the scrapping of end-of-life products - from the consumer to technical partners up to secondary channels. Outbound Nothing remains in the warehouse for long. Customer satisfaction is a crucial element as the customer is king and wants his products returned home or to the retail store in the shortest possible time frame. DB Schenker abides by the service level agreements as negotiated with the brand owner. A IT (integrated) All processes within the warehouse are supported by a reliable and secure IT system. It controls and manages disposition decisions and tracks the turn-around time of the reverse cycle from pickup at the customer to arrival of the product in our returns centre as well as the return delivery to the customer a b DB Schenker Vertical Market Electronics Reverse Logistics 5 4 c Consumption and use of electronic goods is increasing rapidly. As a result, a vast number of electronic products are returned due to product damage, defects, 30-day return policies etc. DB Schenker is highly experienced in managing these complex return flows. Our Reverse Logistics solution has numerous options for recovering assets while taking environmental considerations into account. Furthermore, customer satisfaction is guaranteed due to short turn-around cycles. Ultimately, the brand owner, the end consumer and the environment all benefit from this solution. Many decisions When a product arrives at the warehouse, it is first inspected to determine the possible fault. Depending on the results of various tests, decisions have to be made. Is the product really damaged? Would it be economically feasible to repair it? Can we harvest parts of the functioning components as spare parts for refurbishment? Do we have to scrap or recycle it? All these decisions are made according to a predefined matrix stipulated by the brand owner. The entire process is fully supported by DB Schenker s IT system that guides DB Schenker employees towards decisions determining further procedures. A B C D E F B Recycling partner Retailer Reseller End customer Repair partner Scrap partner C D F 6 a b c Retailer Service centre End customer Inbound Customers return goods because they are dissatisfied with their purchase or because the product is damaged or non-functional. Service centres request repairs, and retailers return their non-sellers. All manner of mobile phones, digital cameras, computers and printers are returned to DB Schenker s warehouse - for a variety of reasons. E 8 9

6 1 2 3 Component swap After screening and testing, the replacement of faulty components will often create a new or refurbished product that can either be returned to the commodity cycle or be used as a replacement within a warranty exchange program. Resale Many returned products are technically in order apart from a few cosmetic scratches or marks and can therefore not be returned to the retail market. DB Schenker maximises customers assets either through remarketing these products through secondary channels such as the Internet or by redistributing them to outlet stores. Technical screening and testing Does the product have a return authorisation number? Is it still within warranty? These questions are clarified during the initial check before the product undergoes technical tests. More than 50% of returned products are found to be fault-free. 4 Recycling and scrapping Raw materials are precious. Recycling is part of DB Schenker s green agenda, and environmental responsibility is a key component of an effective strategy. Therefore all defective products or components that cannot be reused in any other way are recycled and returned to the manufacturing process in compliance with environmental law. 5 Repair service Depending on the product s value it will either be repaired in the warehouse by DB Schenker specialists or sent to an external repair partner. When the faulty components have been repaired or overhauled, the product is either placed into refurbished stock for future warranty exchanges or returned to the end-customer. 6 Spare part harvesting It is not always economically faesible to repair a product. However, this does not mean that the product has lost its value. Good working components will be removed and used to refurbish other products, or alternatively, they will be used for spare parts fulfilment in the aftermarket A workforce of 94,000, but you still have your own personal point of contact. 6 Even though our activities cover the world, with us you ll always have your own personal contact who speaks your language and is always available when needed.
