Metal supplier Corus has established a Just-in-Time (JIT) facility in Coventry to delivering steel to Mayflower Vehicle Systems.

The 1200 square metre satellite facility, located adjacent to Mayflower, is fully linked with a service centrebased at a 50-acre steel supply and processing hub in Wednesfield in the West Midlands. A networked JIT facility will allow Mayflower to track stock, and process orders and invoices.
The JIT facility stocks Mayflower’s complete requirement of 206 different sizes and specifications of automotive steel blanks for more than 100 different body parts, which the company supplies to several vehicle manufacturers.
With a 2000 tonne stock capacity, the distribution satellite supplies blanks timed to meet Mayflower’s specific manufacturing schedule.
Locating the facility on Mayflower’s doorstep has enabled Corus to eliminate its own steel stocks and release both capital and space tied up in this area. The new facility will also help alleviate problems caused by almost constant traffic congestion on the M6 motorway between Coventry and Wolverhampton.
