Load planning & optimization for primary & secondary transport

The challenge
What the business needed
An Indian FMCG company faced significant challenges for outbound delivery logistics planning. Indents were planned for shipment basis tonnage of trucks, and not optimized for volume. Routes were planned sub-optimally & manually. Unpicked loads due to inefficient planning and sub-optimal truck selection. Cases of re-planning at loading bay. Route clustering absent, forcing operations to combine primary and secondary loads
Solution
How the work was delivered
We developed a Load and Route Planning Tool for outbound deliveries from Plants to Depots & from Depots to Distributors. Optimized routes using dynamic clustering rules, without violating GST and operational norms. Selection of right and best fit truck type basis feasibility and availability of trucks as per stated requirements. Simulated container loading with high confidence, basis stacking and stability constraints. Enabled integration with SAP for manifest generation.
