In-plant logistics covers movements within the manufacturing plant of raw materials, components and sub-assemblies - either to or from stocking points or line-sides, for turning into finished goods, as well as bringing finished products out to the factory gate. DHL Global Forwarding can support your team, or even be your team, by handling such tasks as labor management, yard management, railcar switching, and cleaning, among others.

DGF in-plant services help you cut costs, increase productivity, and get the best out of your most valuable resource: your people. DGF believes that all processes in the plant should be considered holistically and integrated with external logistics systems. To avoid the tendency to shift costs from one area to another, we analyze the complete system, including how the plant interfaces with inbound to manufacturing and outbound logistics.
