In a corporate organisation, every trip depends on transport, without an efficient transport system and adequate mobility of staff and equipment, the business suffers. Also when the movement of staff and equipment is not efficient, the zeal to do the work will not be there and thereby bringing in frustration into the system which will later affect productivity. This necessitated the topic: All You Need On Corporate Transportation Management to help transport managers be effective.
Avoid wastage, that is, being economical in transport operations implies practising either cost control or some other measures. Take for instance, driving slowly may save energy but it will increase travel time. The transport manager whose aim are economy and efficiency must keep cost to minimum. Every transport manager that knows his duties very well must make optimal use of the resources available.
Key Focus On Transportation Economy And Efficiency
- Optimal fleet size
- Improved vehicle utilisation for instance, reduced emty running
- Optimal route planning
- Efficient delivery scheduling
- Improved driver performance
- Economy in the use of fuel
- Well planned and managed operation
Strategies For Achieving Efficiency
- Great care is needed in the choice, cost, work functions, purpose and standardization of vehicle and workshop requirements
- Purchasing to align with existing vehicle fleet
- Batch or block purchase of a particular model or item mixture of vehicle in fleets is not productive rather additional burden of spare parts, workshop, mechanic equipment and wage.
- Discussion and advice from the end users before purchase
- Record vehicle history regularly
Terms Used In Monitoring Fleet Operational Efficiency
- Utilisation of fleet. This has to do with rate, performance, passengers volume, vehicle kilometre, accident rate and shuts down rate.
- Original quality of vehicle
- Current requirements of vehicle
- Availability of vehicle for work
- Vehicle under repairs. Vehicle off the road
- Vehicle under major repairs
However, the major constraint to policy implementation for corporate organisation transportation system is lack of political will, man power and financial constraints
