Challenge
Incorporating 180 Tier 1 contracts across construction, technology, components, and operations, Hinkley Point C is one of the largest collaborative supply chains in the UK. With such a vast, complex supply chain, this megaproject of national importance required acute supply chain visibility.
Solution
Wincanton’s materials management solution has ensured surety of supply across many thousands of product lines for Hinkley Point C. It manages the flow of materials to site from UK-based and international suppliers, tracking and reporting every single component in the supply-chain.
Outcome
Counterfeit, Fraudulent and Suspect Items (CFSI) are a significant risk to the integrity of a megaproject supply chain. The visibility provided by our solution supports fully aligned policies and procedures to address risk for Hinkley Point C, EDF and Wincanton, ensuring CFSI does not enter the construction site or the supply chain.
“Wincanton is a trusted, long-term partner supporting our vast and complex logistics needs. Throughout the construction of Hinkley Point C, Wincanton has proved itself to be a supplier with expertise, experience and the ability to adapt to the changing needs of the project.”
