Using appointment scheduling to handle loading and unloading planning more efficiently
Reduce bottlenecks on your plant site and react flexibly to changes
For many shippers and logistics service providers, loading and unloading planning tends to be reactive. In goods issue, this means that pallets are removed from storage and staging areas are occupied according to a fixed plan based on documents that are due for shipment. Unfortunately, the trucks for which the goods have been staged are often delayed. This leads to congestion on the shipping lanes, at the gates and to highly fluctuating capacity utilization in loading.
Appointment Scheduling For Dynamic Management Of Loading Point Capacities Provides Remedy
- Flexible calculation of loading and unloading times based on parameters (such as number of load carriers, loading point, process type, product category)
- Coordinate resource deployment with anticipated workload and balance workload with storage area and door occupancy
- Calculate ETA (Expected Time of Arrival) based on traffic situation and telematics data of the trucks and react with a time slot shift in case of delays.
- Appointment scheduling system integrated with your legacy SAP systems enables a high degree of automation
- Use geofences to automatically trigger follow-up actions depending on the distance to the destination, e.g. trigger stock removals via warehouse management system
