Driving Efficiency: Optimizing Logistics at Ambient Binh Duong

Streamlining Load Management and Warehouse Operations for Enhanced Performance

Project Kickoff: Revolutionizing Our Processes

    Meet the Team

    This project is led by Vo Tan Anh from the Supply Chain department, Ambient Binh Duong, driving improvements in our logistics.

    Project Overview

    We're tackling key areas: load trip management and streamlining the warehouse outbound process for greater efficiency.

    Project Goal 1

    Improving load management between the warehouse and NVC to ensure transparency and full payment.

    Project Goal 2

    Optimizing the outbound process and reporting to ensure accuracy and consistency across all warehouses.

    The Challenge

    Overcoming current inefficiencies in both load management and outbound processes to reduce errors and save costs.

    Load Trip Project: Transparency and Control

      Web Platform Launch

      Creating a web page for NVC to confirm load details, promoting clear communication and accountability.

      Key Data Capture

      Tracking essential information: load weight, driver details, and origin-destination points, preventing 'ghost loads'.

      Cost Transparency

      Internally tracking load costs (e.g., 10 loads @ 700,000 VND each) for precise transport fee settlements.

      Expense Control

      Real-time cost monitoring helps quickly identify and manage unexpected expenses, enhancing budget control.

      Status Tracking

      Monitoring load status: 'New', 'NVC Confirmed', 'Warehouse Confirmed'. Only 'Warehouse Confirmed' loads are paid.

      Load Trip Workflow: Streamlined Confirmation

        Account Provisioning

        Providing secure accounts for both the warehouse team and NVC partners to manage load details.

        NVC Declaration

        NVCs use their account to declare initial load information, including destination and load contents.

        Warehouse Validation

        The warehouse confirms the declared information, ensuring accuracy before final confirmation.

        Load Completion

        Once warehouse confirms the load, the process is complete, triggering payment based on agreed terms.

        Real-time Visibility

        Track the entire process from declaration to completion, enabling immediate feedback and error resolution.

        Outbound Optimization: Accuracy Redefined

          Current Challenges

          Reliance on OB team for report access, inconsistent reporting formats across warehouses, and manual operations leading to errors.

          Common Mistakes

          Frequent errors include incorrect total pieces (surplus or deficit) and misrouted shipments (e.g., HCM pieces on a Vung Tau truck).

          Impact of Errors

          These errors are often difficult to detect without rigorous checks on total pieces and labels during outbound processing.

          Root Cause

          Lack of a standardized, automated system for tracking and verifying outbound shipments.

          Need for change

          The present system requires immediate modification to improve accuracy and reliability.

          Scanning Solution: Accuracy and Transparency

            Scanning Implementation

            Deploying scanning technology for outbound (OB) processes to capture data and minimize manual errors.

            Data Integration

            Scan data flows into a web-based system or is stored on SFT for easy access and report generation.

            Accessible Reporting

            Warehouse staff and company-wide users can access outbound reports whenever needed, ensuring accountability.

            Error reduction

            By reducing errors the whole process becomes more efficient by saving money and time.

            Benefits to everyone

            This provides advantage to our clients and other staff members.

            Warehouse & OB Collaboration: A Seamless Handover

              Current Redundancy

              OB teams often double-check total pieces provided by the warehouse, indicating a lack of trust in the initial count.

              Optimized Handover

              With accurate scanning by the warehouse, OB teams can confidently verify and communicate totals to the warehouse and drivers.

              Driver Accountability

              NVC drivers will be responsible and clear about the total number of items being handed over to them.

              Reduced Discrepancies

              Optimized processes will reduce errors and create a better relationship between all workers.

              Goal Alignment

              All parties involved will have better relationships and reduce the chance for error.

              The Path Forward: Implementation and Integration

                System Setup

                Establishing the web platform for load confirmation and integrating scanning technology into the outbound process.

                Training Program

                Conducting comprehensive training sessions for warehouse staff and NVC partners on using the new systems.

                Phased Rollout

                Implementing the changes in phases to ensure smooth integration and minimal disruption to operations.

                Monitoring and Adjustment

                Continuously monitoring the performance of the new systems and making adjustments as needed to optimize efficiency.

                Feedback Channels

                Establishing open channels for feedback from all stakeholders to ensure the systems meet their needs.

                Expected Outcomes: A New Era of Efficiency

                  Reduced Errors

                  Significant decrease in errors related to total pieces and misrouted shipments, enhancing accuracy.

                  Cost Savings

                  Optimized load management and efficient outbound processes contribute to substantial cost savings.

                  Increased Transparency

                  Improved visibility and accountability in load management and outbound processes.

                  Enhanced Collaboration

                  Stronger partnerships between warehouse staff, OB teams, and NVC partners through improved communication and trust.

                  Streamlined Operations

                  More efficient and reliable logistics operations overall, leading to better service delivery.

                  Continuous Improvement: Building on Success

                    Regular Audits

                    Conducting regular audits to identify areas for further improvement and ensure sustained efficiency.

                    Technology Updates

                    Staying up-to-date with the latest technological advancements to continually optimize logistics operations.

                    Process Refinements

                    Refining processes based on feedback and performance data to ensure continued relevance and effectiveness.

                    Knowledge Sharing

                    Promoting knowledge sharing and best practices across all warehouses to drive continuous improvement.
