| To
say that spare parts and accessories play a major role in the services
provided by Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings would be an understatement.
Accessorisation of vehicles prior to shipment
now accounts for more than 14 hours of workshop time.
Spare parts packages continue to be an efficient
way to ship parts inside vehicles thus ensuring that each vehicle
travels with the most common and necessary spare parts to cover
the first couple of years of operation. When working in remote areas,
this facility gives great peace of mind.
The logistics involved in stocking the best accessories
from around the world in order to meet the demands of customers
working every day in the most testing of environments is complicated
to say the least:
Bullbars and VHF communications equipment from
Australia
Winching equipment from USA
Anti-mine protection from Norway
The TGS Spare Parts and Accessories Warehouse
ensures that each vehicle shipped by TGS is supplied with exactly
the correct spares and options as requested by each customer. Not
only that, but also the fact that the spares are packed speedily,
accurately, and in such a way as to minimise any risk of possible
damage to the vehicles during shipment.
Accuracy and speed has been significantly improved over the last
18 months by the introduction of scanning and barcode reading equipment.
Whilst the Warehouse has always been linked to the TGS data system,
the new scanning procedures has taken this interaction to a whole
new level.
The Warehouse also follows the key Toyota principle
of KAIZEN which means “continuous improvement”.
To achieve all of this, we have an experienced
warehouse team comprising of
John Ferrary – Warehouse Manager – who has been with
the company 10.5 years
Stephen Link – Warehouse Supervisor – who has been with
