Power Generation & Utilities Solutions
Whether building a new power station or nuclear reactor or supporting field engineers in transmission and distribution activities, complex supply chains are a reality in the power and utilities industry. While new capital projects and existing power, utilities, transmission and distribution facilities each have their own unique supply chain challenges, the need to get or keep equipment online is of paramount importance.
As the global leaders in supply chain management, DHL is uniquely qualified to meet the supply chain needs of new build projects as well as existing electricity, gas, water and alternative energy companies. We understand that complex regulations and an increasingly uncertain future make delivering power more complicated than ever. And we are well aware of the obstacles utilities, power generation and alternative energy companies face, from outdated or inadequate infrastructures, increased governmental focus on exploring alternative energy sources and an ever-increasing demand for energy. DHL can help you meet these challenges head on through supply chain design, implementation and management services that enhance your productivity while reducing your costs.

Keep Manufacturing Running (MRO)
Inbound-to-operations, also known as materials re-supply or maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) is critically important to power and utilities customers. Keeping the right equipment and parts at the right locations to repair and maintain generation, transmission and distribution equipment and infrastructure is a balancing act. You need to keep the network running and engineering teams productive while minimizing unnecessary overhead.
Making Maintenance Teams More Productive (Engineering Response)
In the power and utilities industry, maintaining continuous production is integral to success. To achieve this, you rely on a highly skilled maintenance staff to keep things up and running. But when that staff is spending time locating the parts and materials they need instead of working on equipment, output can be adversely affected - especially in remote geographic regions and harsh climates.
Smart Metering & Grid Deployment
Smart metering and network upgrade projects are complex and difficult - spanning a wide range of rural locations and urban conurbations.
Undertaking such projects in an efficient and cost-effective way is critical to project success and utility company reputation.

Reduce Capital Assets & Improve Supply Chain Efficiency
There is a strong focus on cost reduction within public and private sector utilities and generation companies. This focus extends to include the materials supply chain and its associated inventory and working capital. Good design is at the heart of an effective supply chain solution, allowing supply chain optimisation and inventory reduction, whilst improving service performance and material availability.
Capital Project Logistics & Transportation
The massive scope of capital projects in the power and utilities sector often results in highly fragmented supply chains. Responsibility for supply chain management has historically been divested to a large number of different sub-contractors from differing regions and countries. In this way, power and utility companies often lose control of the supply chain and cannot easily track the flow of materials. Materials don’t get to the engineers on time, to plan, reducing productivity and preventing projects from coming in on time and on budget.
Inbound-to-Operations (MRO)
Inbound-to-operations, also known as materials re-supply or maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) is critical to keeping equipment online and maintaining distribution and transmission of electricity, gas or water. Getting the right equipment and parts to engineers located across the network is a balancing act. You need to keep your highly skilled staff working productively while minimizing unnecessary overhead.
