Time Slot Management: “The Burning Platform”

Business Need • Detention is the largest unplanned expense in transportation • The threat of a driver shortage is real • Wait time is non-value-added (waste) and increases uncertainty

Business Value • Large opportunity to reduce detention charges • Eliminate uncertainty on inbound loads -> decrease working capital • Reduces variability of delivery performance • Smoother arrival schedules means optimized site labor

Feasibility • Time Slot Management is one of the most impactful solutions and the most

feasible to implement

• Based on Data from 47 sites in different countries, involving 20,000 loading or unloading operations

• Assume ~60 minutes to load a full truck

• Rough estimates for wait times:

• Liquid – 2 hrs • Dry – 1 hour • Packg – 2 hrs

(The Myth of) Driver Shortages

Shortage calculations based on dubious math

Made for lobbying against HOS regulations

There is a shortage of pay There is very high turnover

Experience levels decreasing Drivers usually don’t get

paid for detention

Bottom line: Time Slot Management benefits the drivers – enhances your carrier relationships

Reduce Uncertainty

Inbound

• Enforcing unloading appointment

times with your suppliers’ carriers

provides visibility to schedules

• Use the OR/ASN to start process

• Provides even more value for VMI

• Can modify slots to align with

production schedule JIT

• Lowers working capital

Outbound

• Enforcing loading appointment

times with carriers improves delivery

estimates to your customers

• Use the LTM to start the process

• Increases efficiency of load

operators

• Lowers detention charges

Optimize Site Resources

Peak Arrivals Before TSM

Peak Arrivals After TSM

15% reduction in Site Labor Costs

Time Slot Management: Booking Appointments

The solution is integrated with Road Transport Execution. Navigate to the applicalbe stop to determine Slot Options

The solution shows only feasible times on feasible load points For Optimization, also feasible wrt resources User books the slot.

The view is defined by the role: Shipper or Carrier The Shipper has more capabiliites for creating, deleting, moving appointments The Shipper can manage blocked times, reservations, product outages

Time Slot Management: Booking Appointments

The Calendar View provides visual cues for actual loading status: • Orange = InTransit • Blue = Weigh in • Green = Loading

User can enter statuses manually from this screen

Potential Benefits

Assumes an average transport journey time of 8 hours per shipment

Source: “How to reduce time spent by drivers on site and improve their treatment: Recommendations for loading and unloading sites”, ISSUE 1 DECEMBER 2009, ECTA, Responsible Care, CEFLC

If all sites reduce the time spent on site by 20%, it is estimated that total freight costs could be reduced by 8%

If all sites limit the time spent on site to 2 ½ hours, it is estimated that freight costs could be reduced by 8.5%

If the time spent by a truck driver at (un)loading sites is reduced from 4 hours per (un)loading operation to 1 hour, the number of shipments handled per year by one truck driver doubles.

Quantifying the Value: Reduced Detention Charges

• 90,000 shipments per year • Average detention costs

for shipments with detention = $170

• % Shipments that incur detention BEFORE TSM = 20%

• % Shipments that incur detention AFTER TSM = 5%

Assumptions:

• Detention Charges before solution = $3,060,000

• Detention Charges after solution = $765,000

• Savings = $2,295,000 • Savings per shipment = $25.50 • This works out to ~3% reduction

in overall transportation costs • Compared to 8% reduction

cited in previous reference

Calculations

Other Factors

• Better capabilities to plan on-site

resources • Reduction in peak labor by

spreading work-load throughout the day

Labor Productivity

• Outbound: Reduction in shipment lead time and variability reduces DSO

• Inbound: Reduction in inbound lead time and variability reduces inventory levels.

Cash-to-Cash Cycle

“recent challenges in carrier capacity (and) demands for faster and more-consistent

shipment turnaround (drive) more enterprises to evaluate this technology.

..Pressures to reduce costs and increase productivity have kept interest in (time

slot) scheduling.” Dock Scheduling and Carrier Appointment Management Dwight Klappich, The Gartner Group, November 2010

Time Slot Management

• Reduces wait times & detention • Reduces administrative time • Turns equipment more quickly • Improves carrier relations • Optimizes facility resources and

improves throughput • Eliminates uncertainty
