Whirlpool

There is no secret to the success of our relationship with Penske. Our close partnership and collaboration enables Penske to be an extension of our business operations. And, just like our work is never done, neither is Penske. They are always looking for new ways to improve efficiency and accountability?
Steve Whalen, Director of Supply Chain Operations, Whirlpool Corporation

Penske LLP continues to enhance Whirlpool supply chain visibility, increase cost savings and better optimize routing. The supply chain transition and the integration of Maytag are still in process, but Penske was able to provide Whirlpool with some immediate savings. By assuming responsibility for Maytag private fleet Penske saved Whirlpool over one million dollars. And, Whirlpool has gained close to five million dollars from a combination of additional volume from Maytag, savings from the competitive bid process and re-adjusting surcharges. Whirlpool supply chain estimates over $40 million in savings from the Maytag integration.

The Penske-Whirlpool relationship is a reflection of how, in today competitive marketplace, a company supply chain must evolve and logistics providers have to evolve with their customers. Penske LLP remains focused on maintaining their valued partner relationship with Whirlpool. While the supply chain evolution and Maytag integration is far from over, Penske LLP is already beginning to assist Whirlpool in providing better visibility internationally. Penske LLP hopes to capitalize on its partnership with ABX to provide deeper visibility and cost savings for Whirlpool overseas. Stay tuned for the next evolution of Whirlpool supply chain.
