Did you know that logistics is one of the factors that can reduce costs for your company?
Currently, road transport is the most common means of logistics with around 61.8%, rail transport in second place with 19.5% and waterway transport in third place with around 13.8%.
Road transport is the most common for reasons of greater flexibility.
Logistics has strategic factors, a direct relationship with the customer and influence on quality, so the purpose of transporting products are:
- Maintain product integrity
- Meet the deadline requested by the customer
Where costs are divided into fixed and variable:
Fixed cost:
- Salary
- vehicle depreciation
- Licensing and IPVA
- Safe
Variable cost:
- Fuel
- tolls
- Lubricants
- Tires
- Know the route (distance)
- Know the quantity of deliveries
- Planning
- Implementation of supply control
- Average fuel consumption
- Implement the speed limit
- Tires always calibrated
- Avoid overloading
- Driver training
- Preventive maintenance
With the implementation of the necessary controls in place, we were able to reduce the cost of several factors, because with the history and current control we can act on where it is lacking and adjust it correctly, thus avoiding future errors and cost reductions.
The following is an example of how to find out the useful life of the tire after retreading, where this calculation leads us to a forecast that we can evaluate and plan for a possible purchase of a new tire.
- N*(Pp + Pr * nr) / tire life after retreading
- N= quantity of tires
- Pp= unit cost
- Pr= unit cost of retreading
- nr= amount of retread
- Tire life after retreading = service life * (nr + 1)
The best way, therefore, to optimize the main logistical costs is to work with data intelligence, indicators and, above all, monitoring results. With the right tools, you can easily detect bottlenecks and understand functions that are below the level expected by the company.
