Reimagining Dispatch Efficiency in Manufacturing: AI Solutions for Sustainable Cost Reduction

The solution can further streamline the logistics operations and bring complete transparency in dealer consumptions. It enables focused drive to improve sales and bottom-line.

Challenge

The shipments have to satisfy many constraints:

• Varied capacity and cost per unit volume of trucks.
• Minimum threshold of permitted material per truck & per dealer, maximum wait time for delivery.
• Transporter serviced routes and stops and many more. The challenge for the OEM was to allocate material to the transporters such that he can

The challenge for the OEM was to allocate material to the transporters such that he can

• Maximize the load carried by each vehicle,
• Honor the transporter share-of- business and
• Reduce his logistics cost Additionally, aim to reduce the number of man-hours dedicated daily towards trying to optimally plan the allocation of material to the transporter before the loading.

Solution

Optirun is designed specifically for manufacturers and distributors to maximize the vehicle utilization and minimize the total cost of shipping. Some key features of this module are:

Instantaneous load allocation: Leverage advanced OR+MLalgorithms for an automated instant load assignments experience and save thousands of man-hours in planning.

Configurable priorities: User configurable cost optimization parameters like $/KM, $/CMT and many more.

Sustainability Centric Planning: Enmovil’s OptiRun can be configured for a daily dispatch plan focused on reducing carbon emissions and reduce carbon footprint for the manufacturers. This directly contributes to the sustainability initiatives and reduce carbon tax.

Auto-adaptation from Real-Time Data:adjusts its planning process by learning from “field reality”. It can understand the issues with field execution and automatically improve its planning process in future runs.

Intelligent load sequencing: Enable loading of material onto a truck based on target unloading sequence of material. Significantly reduce material unloading time at the dealer with loading sequence recommendations.

Result

The customer has been able to reduce his dispatch cost by more than 8% by leveraging Enmovil’s for dispatch scheduling.
The customer has also recovered thousands of man-hours and re-deployed the resources formore productive activities.

The solution can further streamline the logistics operations and bring complete transparency in dealer consumptions. It enables focused drive to improve sales and bottom-line.
