Transport Management
Transport Management is more than just the movement of goods. It includes the positioning of resources in the supply chain for maximum customer service at minimum cost. With the increases in transport cost brought about by fuel price rises and legislative pressures, the effect on the bottom line of optimised transport management is more significant than ever, especially with the trend to smaller deliveries and vehicle sizes.
From manufacturer deliveries and collections, through movement between major distribution centres, to deliveries to stores and individual customers, control of multiple drops and effective routing are vital components in everyday transport. At Unipart Logistics, transport management and dynamic routeing is used to optomise efficiency and customer service, especially with two man home deliveries.
Elements of the Unipart Way are deployed to continually imporve the efficiency and effectiveness of transport, whether use of the in house fleet of 1,600 vehicles, customer fleets or managing other contractors. Tracking, telematics and RFID can be integrated into wider logistics operations. The Unique Unipart Tend to Zero approach can improve the experience and costs for all partners in the supply chain.
