Canadian Tire is one of Canada’s largest companies. They operate four large distribution centers service over 470 tire retail outlets. They recently installed a Yard Management System (YMS), which they have integrated with their Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and Transport Management System (TMS) systems. Their expectation was improved performance in over-the-road transportation equipment utilization, driver productivity, and warehouse dock/door utilization. As a relatively new logistics employee, you have been asked to develop an evaluation system to measure operational productivity improvement. While management does not want a financial impact evaluation, they are interested in developing benchmarks to measure initial and sustainable productivity improvement. You have the job-how would you proceed?

Provided in the explanation section

Explanation:

A YMS acts an interface between a WMS and TMS.The evaluation system with the key performance indicators are mentioned in the table below.

NOTE: The analysis follows in this order given below

Metric 1

Trailer utilization

Description :This captures the status of the trailer whether it is in the yard or is in transit

Comments : Helps in measuring the trailer productivity on a daily ,weekly or monthly basis

Metric 2

Driver utilization

Description : This captures the status of the driver whether the driver is in the yard or is in transit

Comments : Helps in measuring the driver productivity on a periodic basis

Metric 3

Trailer sequence

Description : This captures the order of movement of trailers in the yard on a given day, week or month

Comments : Helps in measuring the order fulfilment efficiency i.e. whether the priority orders have been serviced first or not

Metric 4

Total time in yard

Description : This captures the time spent by the trailer in the yard from the time it enters and leaves the yard

Comments : This helps in measuring the time taken to fulfill a particular request

⇒ Capturing these metrics need inputs from both WMS and TMS, and also the trailers need to have RFID tags attached to them.Then compare these performance metrics with the ones prior to the deployment of YMS to identify the percent gains in the overall operational productivity.

cheers i hope this helped !!

My favorite is "be concise."have you ever received an email and had to read a page full of information? by the time you finished reading it, you had to re-read it? i have even hit "reply" so that i could break it down into separate paragraphs and send it back to myself.what is concise? get to the point, fast. when opening an email like this, some will close it or print it to read later.i learned to use the subject line to prepare the reader for content. such as, "need on (blank), " "info only re: (blank)," "request input on (blank)," "read before (blank) meeting." these are just some.if you are asking for something, make that your first sentence. follow this by who, what, when, where, and how. use these, as necessary. example; (1) who (who needs it and or who does it), (2) what (specific description of what is needed), (3) when (specific, i need this by 8: 00 am monday or i need this by 10: 00 am today), (4) where (does it have to be printed and taken to someone, maybe the place of the meeting), (5) how (i need it scanned or faxed back to me at this email address, provide me with a hard copy).do not send yet. re-read it. did some spell check change a word? maybe let someone else read it for understanding. you want to avoid multiple emails asking for clarification. if important, put a read receipt on it. you will know it was opened, not necessarily read.end with a you.
