Case

• The Imperial Logistics warehouse in Clayville is an important place for the people of Gauteng.

• Distribution of the liquors and beers.• Imperial handle three liquor distribution

principals:-1. Merging and splitting orders. 2. Combined and separate picking slips.3. Nominated delivery days.

Page 18: Courier and logistics-1

Problems

1. There is no standardization of customer numbers, and the customer names will not necessarily or even usually match.

      For example, Makro Ultra Liquor Wadeville might also appear as Wadeville Macro, or Ultra Liquor Wadeville, or Makro Ultra and so on.

2.  The second problem is to ensure that all orders for each outlet only come in on one day of the week.

Page 19: Courier and logistics-1

Solutions

1.  A first work through the data identified about half of the corresponding outlets. To find the rest, we wrote a report that listed all outlets within a kilometer of each other and allowed the operator to link the customers from each principal to the same delivery point.

Page 20: Courier and logistics-1

Solutions

 2. An initial nominated delivery day study to allocate each outlet to a specific day. The idea, was that each principal would change delivery days to conform to these new nominated delivery days, but this has proved to be an ongoing challenge.

     FLO solved the problem of combining orders from different principals to the same customer, both from a warehouse picking, as well as an optimal routing of the combined orders on the distribution side of the business. We were able to go live with the system on extremely tight deadlines".

ConclusionThe  logistics  industry  in  India  is  evolving  rapidly  and  it  is  the interplay  of  infrastructure,  technology  and  new  types  of  service providers  that will  define whether  the  industry  is  able  to  help  its customers reduce their logistics costs and provide effective services (which are also growing). Changing government policies on taxation and regulation of  service providers are going  to play an  important role  in  this  process.  Coordination  across  various  government agencies  requires  approval  from multiple ministries  and  is  a  road block  for  multi  modal  transport  in  India.  At  the  firm  level,  the logistics  focus  is moving  towards  reducing  cycle  times  in  order  to add  value  to  their  customers.  Consequently,  better  tools  and strategies  are  being  sought  by  firms  in  order  to  enhance  their decision making.
