Write a specification for truck utilisation improvement that suppliers can price without guessing.
Designing Strategies to Improve Truck Utilisation Rates
Learn to design, measure and defend your organisation's approach to truck utilisation improvement.
Course Overview
Warehouse performance on truck utilisation improvement is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside this part of procurement and supply operations. The professional literature on the procurement and supply operations discipline converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The programme converts truck utilisation improvement from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. It suits anyone whose decisions touch the wider procurement and supply operations agenda, in large organisations and small ones alike. Participants apply this strand of procurement and supply operations to their own supply function throughout, so the output is directly usable. The difficulty is not agreeing that truck utilisation improvement matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. Participants finish able to explain the procurement and supply operations capability to a non-specialist audience without losing precision. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to this part of procurement and supply operations that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
