Ferrier's Focus

• Highway to Hell?
• The OM role will become more complex far more
  than simply juggling dwindling driver numbers,
  higher wages and an understanding of the formula
  for passing on rising fuel costs, these people
  will require a thorough knowledge of carbon
  emissions regulations and the companys
  obligations under fatigue-prevention regulations.
• Even more challenging, the industry needs to
  ensure that it has the staff capable of
  undertaking these roles. This in itself
  represents another problem needing a solution.

Maximising Fuel Efficiency

• Using Technology to assist businesses achieve
• Fuel efficiencies
• Integrated Transport Management Systems should
• Measure, monitor and report KPIs rankings
• Maintain, schedule service your assets
• Load optimisation through visibility and
  automation.

7
Measure Performance

• Cost per KM
• Link fuel costs to individual Trucks
• System then calculates cost per job, driver Km.
• Basis for most KPIs for Trucks, Trips, Jobs
  Drivers
• Driving Behaviour
• Black Box technology plugged into a vehicles EMS
• Transmission of data back to back end system
• Highlights driving techniques like Idle rather
  than shut down, etc
• Compare performance of trucks, drivers jobs,
  identify those for review and training.

8
Maintenance

• A well maintained fleet will be more efficient
• Systems can store vehicle maintenance intervals
• Systems can store vehicle odometer/hours (PDA)
• Systems can predict date of next service
• Systems know details cost of each service job
• Systems can manage the workshop truck
• maintenance more effectively
• Systems can identify all the cost elements of
  each
• vehicle (not only fuel), so that comparisons can
  be
• made across the fleet
• Visibility of total cost of ownership will assist
  purchasing decisions, maintenance training
  programs.

9
Load Optimisation

• Ideally want each truck to be fully loaded on
  each trip using as little fuel as possible
• Load Optimisation lowest cost per Km
• Good systems provide clear visibility of each
  freight task.
• Must be practical to use
• Real Time

Load Optimisation

• An example of a Drag and Drop environment

11
Load Optimisation

• Booked into systems up front so that jobs are
  visible to all (including customers) and not just
  in the heads and jotter pads of the few

• Integrated TMS and GPS systems can now show you
  where your collect and delivery points are for
  better optimisation and increased utilisation of
  resources

12
Summary

• Technology is available in many forms to assist
• Integrated systems bring all information sources
  together in one place, in real time to provide
  maximum visibility operational efficiency
  through accuracy, reduction of errors
  automation.
• KPIs reporting highlight exceptions and
  performance issues. (ie high fuel costs)
• Ongoing education and training of drivers and
  operational staff to optimise processes
  behaviour will give you the best chance at
  success.
• Good Luck!!
