Track & Trace project A smart solution that tracks LS - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Track & Trace project A smart solution that tracks LS Distribution’s products and orders from A to Z.

WHO IS AMP?

WHO IS AMP?  Distribution of +6,000 magazines from main publishers  More than 175 different newspapers per day  Reverse logistics (Unsolds)  +5,500 POS served during the night  Market leader (92% market share)  10 DCs  24/7 operations  For papers & magazine  For ‘value added activities’

AMP’s CHALLENGES  Huge time pressure  Short time between end of the picking proces newspapers and departure of our delivery routes : max. 2 minutes  350 vehicles visiting 5.500 stops (mainly during the night)  Need to increase visibility of operations  To provide accurate information to customers (senders/receivers)  To give decision tools for internal follow-up  Enhance Return Flow management (unsold items)  Being ready for diversification  More complex logistic flows  Customers require fast & accurate info: delivery times, incidents

SOLUTION OVERVIEW: combination of - Warehousing processes (in the DCs) - Proof of Delivery & Collection (in the field) Visibility & Traceability DC

MIX OF 2 TYPES OF ROUNDS 1. DC-DC (milk round) • During the day • Pallets/Roll containers • With trucks 2. Delivery round • At night • Parcels/Totes • With vans AMP DC (MAIN)AMP DC

DELIVERY & COLLECTION ROUND Delivery Collection Unloading + sorting Discovery (add item to route of unsold items/retours based on barcode pattern) or announced by SAP

APPLICATION OVERVIEW – VEHICLE LOADING Real-time data capture with WiFi  Driver Logon  Route request (time-based)  Loading verification  Full Loading  Partial Loading  Exception handling  Automatic replanning  Printing of RouteSheets based on loaded goods

APPLICATION OVERVIEW – STOP at POS Real-time data capture With 3G  Delivery Registration (barcode scanning)  Collection registration  Totes  Returning products (diversification)  …  Incident handling

APPLICATION OVERVIEW - UNLOADING Real-time data capture with WiFi  Unloading registration  Specific Routing registration of unsold goods  Incident handling

RESULT: ALL INFORMATION AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY

RIDE MONITOR – CENTRAL TOOL FOR INFORMATION  At any moment: real-time overview  Per Run / Per Stop / Per Individual Item  Including history  Allows last-minute change to routes  Split/recombine  Follow-up of route execution  Observation of Incidents + Pictures  Printing of documents  Labels / RouteSheet / CMR document / …  Automatic or manual replanning of non-delivered and returned items

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION  Real-time information is a fact  Real-time, paperless reporting is a fact  Operation visibility enhances quality and speed, even under big time pressure  Follow-up of returning goods has become easier  Integration of value-add services has become easier for AMP  AMP invested in a T&T solution support the diversification, but couldn’t miss it today for its daily operations!
