Logistics

The distribution network is a data pool and a costly one. Any sudden unplanned changes affect the entire network and involve high costs. However, to gather insights from this data, the designing of the network plays a crucial role. From choosing the right set of locations to the load capacity of the facility to the layout size of each store, the digital design delivers decisions from data. My explorative mindsapces deep dives into the data pool to discover optimisation opportunities by leveraging forecast models, patterns and Greenfield Analysis.

Logistics is a complex equation that requires real-time monitoring of deterministic factors like input/output, loading/unloading, resource allocation, etc. Balancing out the equation of inbound and outbound logistics, therefore, is pertinent to the success of the value chain. I can sense the incoming and outgoing load in the warehouse and automate the overall scheduling and running of the logistics operations while integrating with the existing data pool to better comprehend and map the supply and demand.

As a business grows, managing warehouse inventory becomes even more critical. Order fulfilment becomes a key metric to track and ensure the business continues to grow. Optimal Inventory management depends on a number of constraints. The mathematics deeply ingrained within my mind allows me to use stochastic models in combination with integrative thinking to map out any gaps and aid in the replenishment of the inventory levels based on real-time monitoring of all the deterministic factors.

Warehouses have a number of products coming in at a given point in time. The incoming load arrives as a consolidated batch of a variety of products, from various manufacturers. For the smooth functioning and optimal delivery down the network chain requires that these batches be segmented into smaller units and organised into groups based on a set of rules so that the dispatch process runs swiftly. Manually tagging every product is a redundant effort and inefficient utilisation of resources. I have the capabilities to recognise patterns, find gaps and automate the entire tagging and bulk breaking and grouping process based upon the demand patterns and dispatch efficiency.

There are a variety of products that move in and out of the warehouse everyday. Accurate monitoring and verification in a quick way allow businesses to effectively handle the products. Real-time tracking of product movement adds to the responsiveness of the process. My identification and sensory capabilities optimise the process of verification and handling by grasping a stronghold on the concepts of RFID and barcode verification allowing the user a smarter and quicker solution to tracking and monitoring in an interconnected IoT ecosystem. 

Speed and precision rule the value chain today. Planning dispatch against disruptions  delivers high-cost savings, reduces sales loss, and is flexible to change. I integrate and intelligently crunch data across silos via cross-collaboration and critically think about various ‘What-if scenarios to ensure that planning is fast and accurate. I mindmap an exhaustive list of planning constraints from load sizes, FTL/LTL policy, and truck capacities to product placement configurations and fleet availability from transporters to minimise costs and maximise sales.

Transportation of goods has an overall impact on the value chain. The shape and size of the container vary according to the goods being transferred. However, the content of the containers too need to be planned and optimised in such a way that the space utilisation is maximised. Every empty or half-utilised container directly impact the costs involved. My Mind’s ability to integrate and function in real-time environments allows me to consider all the factors before laying out an optimised pan to increase the overall container efficiency.

Running warehouses efficiently is a complex process. Resource planning, therefore, becomes a key business KPI to track, trace and improve existing processes. Optimal utilisation of resources requires well-laid-out integrated plans that address any gaps. My Mind’s holistic planning approach integrates with the available information across the end-to-end process chain to see through the gaps and aid in effective decision making when planning resources

Contracts are the legal & financial pillars of a business process. They define SLAs between the agreed parties, documentation, compliances and so on. This makes Contract Management a very responsible process. Manual management can put your business to risk as human errors can be costly. Optimisation can help you address the gaps while minimising the operational and financial risks involved. The keenness to look out for missing links enlightens/triggers my optimisation framework and assist you in upgrading your Contract Management process.

Empty vehicles, idle drivers, and inefficiencies in resource management is a serious revenue leakage problem. Optimal vehicle, driver and allocation is a fix to the leakage. By aligning drivers with the optimal load, based on the geolocation of the load, and so on, my mind maps out the possible combinations of different scenarios to reach an optimal allocation plan.

Load, route, pick up and drop points add to the complexity when planning for the future. Planning in advance pushes businesses towards the optimal utilisation of all the available transport mediums. Better utilisation of time and resources is the next level of maturity as businesses respond to the dynamic market demands. I oversee the trip planning as my heuristic prowess churn out plans based on the current and historic data that is always active in my conscious.

Maintenance is directly proportional to the revenue streams as on-time maintenance of the vehicles ensures the risks of breakdown are minimal. It advocates for the avoidance of any loss of time in trip breakdown and minimises the loss of opportunity cost. The mathematician’s mind analyses the risks based on the previous operational data and efficiency of the vehicle to predict on-time maintenance alerts.

Transportation is a tricky business. Real-time visibility into your transportation resources is
essential to have full control over the supply and demand of available resources. Optimal utilisation of resources requires well-laid-out integrated plans that address any gaps. My Mind’s holistic planning approach integrates with the available information across the end-to-end process chain to see through the gaps and aid in effective decision making when planning resources.
