Optimizing Logistics Efficiency

A project was done for a leading battery manufacturer to reduce their truck detention charges by 50%. The project involved analyzing and improving loading and unloading times, implementing an appropriate scheduling system for better communications with carriers and dock assignments, reallocating resources to increase dock staffing during peak times. Collaboration with carriers was enhanced to establish better and clearer detention policies and optimize the truck arrival times. The project improved operational efficiency by reducing average detention times by 50%, increasing on-time loading and unloading rates to 95%, reduced wait time for carriers resulting in an annual saving of INR 50 lacs in detention charges.
