Ashok Leyland – the flagship of the Hinduja group - is the fourth-largest manufacturer of MHCV buses and the world’s tenth-largest manufacturer of MHCV trucks. Ashok Leyland vehicles are designed for performance levels that have reshaped the commercial vehicle industry. The company also takes pride in ensuring higher uptime, greater efficiency, and operational performance of its vehicles. As part of this quest, Ashok Leyland strives to make all the spare parts readily available to customers through their all-India sales and service network. However, since they have a vast variety of parts under the brand LEYPARTS® (over 90,000 parts!), the company, like most large players in this segment, found it an enormous challenge despite operating with very high inventory and long lead times.Ashok Leyland partnered with Vector Consulting Group to implement the distribution model in its spares business to build supply chain capabilities that deliver excellent availability of their enormous range of parts. By migrating from the conventional forecast-based model and implementing the ‘pull’ replenishment model with over 500 vendors, six Ashok Leyland plants and over 540 outlets for over 20,000 SKUs that account for 95% of the sales, it transformed its operations within 15 months of implementation. Consequently, the spares business has continued to grow at over 25% Year-on-Year.The following were some of the significant benefits realised:<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:827/519;" src="https://web-assets.vectorconsulting.in/storage/editor_uploads//image-1720096534_1776932308.png" width="827" height="519"></figure>
