MYDIN - Supply Chain Manager
MYDIN Mohamed Holdings Bhd. (MYDIN) is the largest Malaysian-owned wholesale and retail company. The company supports its retail activities – which includes hypermarkets, emporiums, 24-hour convenience stores, mini markets and malls – with a busy warehouse and logistics operation in Kuala Lumpur.
MYDIN requires exceptional performance from its supply chain to meet customer demand for products sold at its retail outlets. Its operations run 24-hours per day, seven days a week, to supply 100,000 stockkeeping units to more than 300 MYDIN outlets across Malaysia. The company’s material handling equipment partner needs to be reliable and be able to provide high quality equipment and service support.
MYDIN partnered with Crown Equipment over 10 years ago to implement a tailored rental warehouse forklift solution that has delivered flexibility, reliability and operational improvement. It is currently running a fleet of more than 80 Crown lift and reach trucks at its Kuala Lumpur distribution centre.
The company is operating a number of Crown RM Series high reach forklifts, which offer the visibility and speed required by MYDIN. The company is also using SP Series stockpickers, which provide the safety required when operators are working at height. Recent additions to the MYDIN fleet include Crown SC Series counterbalance forklifts, and WP and WT Series pallet movers for dock work.
