Adequate transport management responds to any change of plans

However important it may be, transport remains only one link in the entire production and value chain. It is directly dependent on quantities, timing and transport capacity. These parameters may differ unexpectedly or even change last minute. By always switching to the most effective strategy for each individual transport, not a cent is wasted and the ecological footprints are also kept to a minimum.



Unforeseen changes? don’t panic!


Suppose a certain production timing was scheduled to produce x number of quantities of units and ship them to a distribution facility by a certain date. However, unforeseen changes to this production program will result in a significant reduction in the number of units, which in turn has direct consequences for the required transport capacity.

Where this production company had previously reserved enough budget to move a certain number of units, this setback means either a longer lead time (until when a full truck or container can be shipped), or an inefficient use of capacity, whereby merely half a truck or container is used.

It doesn’t have to go either way. Adequate transport management gives planners and managers the opportunity to adapt to these operational changes in real time. They do this by rapidly identifying the best routes, modes of transport and delivery times. This way, they avoid the loss of time and resources by integrating these changing variables into the applied strategy.
