LUCENT SELECTS RYDER FOR LOGISTICS OPERATIONS
Lucent Technologies has selected Ryder Systems, Inc. to provide North American outbound logistics operations. Lucent will use Ryder’s logistics operations to merge and consolidate factory and third party-provided materials into a single, pre scheduled delivery to Lucent’s customers.
Lucent believes this will help them improve delivery times to customers and give them the ability to track orders from pre-shipment through final delivery. Projections indicate this will enable Lucent to cover more than 90 percent of its U.S. delivery demand within 24 hours and 100 percent within two days.
Ryder Systems, Inc., based in Miami, is a global provider of supply chain and transportation management solutions.
