The ability to deliver products on time and in full is a critical component of supply chains. Many larger companies make substantial investments in private vehicle fleets to do so, but this brings costs for drivers, dispatchers, routing specialists, service technicians, fuel and more.

To keep fleets performing at their best while serving a complex retail ecosystem, many companies rely on Truck and Trailer Maintenance Garages (TMGs) — which play a crucial but little-known role in supply chain success. This playbook explores key lessons from Performance Solutions by Milliken, a team working to improve TMG operational efficiency for one of the world’s largest retailers. Read the playbook to learn:

• Why streamlined TMG operations are essential to logistics strategy.
• How to apply the 5S improvement methodology to TMG performance.
• Strategies that reduce production downtime, boost productivity and improve employee engagement.
