Customer Profile: A large manufacturer of FMCG agri food products
Problem: The client had a large industrial complex where there were a number of vehicles that were used to move raw materials and finished goods between multiple plants and the storage areas. There always was a shortage of tractors and there was a need to optimally assign vehicles for usage.
Solution: We studied the vehicle usage pattern within the factory premises and designed a solution where all transportation vehicles were centrally located at a common area under a supervisor. Whoever needed transportation, would call for the vehicle and the vehicle would come back to this location after completing the task. This led to a high level of sharing of vehicles between divisions which finally reduced the number of vehicles required in the plant.
Benefit: The overall cost of transportation for this customer came down by approx. 50% and some of the vehicles were freed up because they were no longer required.
