Making production processes more efficient while reducing storage costs forces shippers to operate the inbound and outbound processes just in time. The necessity of coordinating these processes does not end at the loading ramp. Drivers as well as forwarders need to be involved in these tightly synchronized inventory control processes in order to optimize the use of resources and guarantee the efficiency of transport.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The relation of shippers, forwarders and drivers implies similar challenges from opposite perspectives: accurate scheduling on one hand often meets a lack of transparency on the other.<\/p>\n

  • The \u201cexpected dwell time\u201d means planning security for\u00a0forwarders<\/strong>\u00a0because the dispatcher can include standby time when planning routes. Thus, delays that emerge while charging and discharging start to become apparent. They cause financial losses and can endanger follow-up orders. In case deliveries are to be consolidated at a hub, delays can cause a domino effect.<\/li>\n
  • For shippers, it is very important that trucks arrive on time, in order to match the plan. Transparency of planned and actual arrival times is very important. Planned appointments have to be met and drivers need to stick to their time slot to ensure process efficiency. Otherwise, the availability of doors and loading equipment cannot be guaranteed. In many cases, waiting trucks outside or in the yard do not match the security guidelines and can be a risk due to physical constraints.<\/li>\n
  • Drivers have to meet the expectations of two other parties: They need to satisfy the contractor as well as the customer. Their target is to comply with the delivery date and their specific driving and rest times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Predictability is the key for any cost reduction in trucking processes for shippers and forwarders. Only when goods receipt and goods issue are announced, it is possible to plan products in real-time and provide the required resources.<\/p>\n

    The main targets for the implementation of a slot booking management are comprised by:<\/p>\n

    • Reduction of waiting times<\/li>\n
    • Planning reliability and planning accuracy<\/li>\n
    • Smoothing the workload<\/li>\n
    • Even utilization of gates, employees and loading equipment<\/li>\n
    • Increasing productivity through closer timing of activities<\/li>\n
