  9. The Lean Team Introduction cont.

  10. The Lean Team The Transportation Link Transportation also includes the movement of parts to assembly areas as they are assembled. This includes shipment of raw materials to the manufacturer and movement of finished product to the customer. Transportation involves the movement of goods and raw materials.

  11. The Lean Team The Transportation Link cont. The Transportation System Key element of Logistics Services because it links all other activities It is required throughout the entire production process It’s efficiency and effectiveness influences the performance of the entire Logistics System

  12. The Lean Team The Transportation Link cont. Fast Delivery Quality Service Objectives of Transportation System Low Cost Low Energy Usage Maximize Resources

  13. The Lean Team The Transportation Link cont. Transport Costs and Goods Characters in Logistics. • Transport system makes goods and products movable and provides timely and regional efficacy to promote value-added under the least cost principle. • For those products with small volume, low weight and high value, transportation cost simply occupies a very small part of sale and is less regarded. • For those big, heavy and low-valued products, transportation occupies a very big part of sale and affects profits more, and therefore it is more regarded.

  14. The Lean Team The Transportation Link cont. The Effects of Transportation on Logistics Activities Basically, production/manufacturing plants, warehousing services, merchandising establishments are all about doing transportation. • Production or manufacturing plants required the assembly of materials, components, and supplies, with or without storage, processing and material handling within the plant and plant inventory. • Warehousing services between plants and marketing outlets involved separate transport. • Merchandising establishments completed the chain with delivery to the consumers.

  15. The Lean Team The Transportation Link cont. The Role of Transportation in Service Quality • By means of well-handled transport system, goods could be sent to the right place at right time in order to satisfy customers’ demands. • It brings efficacy, and also it builds a bridge between producers and consumers. Therefore, transportation is the base of efficiency and economy in business logistics and expands other functions of logistics system. • In addition, a good transport system performing in logistics activities brings benefits not only to service quality but also to company competitiveness.

  32. The Lean Team An Invaluable Insight What methods of transportation are being used? • Land - Trucks for Domestic • Sea - Ships for Containerized Shipment • Air - Plane for sensitive goods How is the right method selected for a particular product? The right method is selected based on: • Cost effectiveness • Distance • Products parameters • Time • Location • Customer’s request.

  33. The Lean Team An Invaluable Insight cont. Which industries mostly require the service of Transport Logistics in Jamaica? • Distribution (Commerce) and Passenger. What types of products/goods are mostly transported? • Mainly convenience goods - food Items How effective is Transport Logistics in Jamaica. • The Transport Logistics in Jamaica is effective as it have been achieving the desired outcome.

  34. The Lean Team An Invaluable Insight cont. Is there room for improvement? • Yes Where? • While the Transport is effective it is not efficient: • There are very few freight forwarders. • Little or no alternatives for road transport (domestic). • Congestion in cities and towns. • More containerized ports needed in strategic locations.

  35. The Lean Team An Invaluable Insight cont. The distribution process. • The distribution process is very mundane. • Orders place by customer. • Based on satisfying the above stated pre-requisite the correct mode of transportation is chosen. How are the locations for distribution centers chosen? • Cost, • Proximity to majority of your customer. • Proximity to competent labor, suppliers and ports.

  36. The Lean Team An Invaluable Insight cont. How is the scheduling of deliveries completed? • All deliveries are made within 24hrs. • The transport department group orders according to their size (to chose the size container or truck) and their geographical location. • Orders are then dispatch for Picking, Staging, Checking, Invoicing, Loading and Delivery. • Once the goods are delivered both the customer and delivery personnel are required to sign each copy of the invoice.

  37. The Lean Team An Invaluable Insight cont. What software is utilized? • SAP • WM Is tracking service widely available in Jamaica? • Yes, this service is available in Jamaica from some of the security companies - Guardsman, Hawkeye etc.

  38. The Lean Team An Invaluable Insight cont. What are some of the disadvantages of poor transport logistic? • Increased Distribution Cost, • Increase in Price of Goods and Services offered, • Dissatisfied Customers etc. What are the main challenges with providing an efficient Transport Logistics service? • Cost • Proper infrastructure • Discipline within the system • Incompetence

  39. The Lean Team Conclusion • Logistics system has a more and more important position in our society activities. • Transportation and logistics systems have interdependent relationships. That is, logistics management needs transportation to perform its activities while a successful logistics system could help to improve traffic environment and transportation development. • Since transportation contributes a significant cost, the improvement of transport efficiency could change the overall performance of a logistics system. • Without the linking of transportation, a powerful logistics strategy cannot bring its capacity into full play.
