Deviations in incoming/outcoming invoicing are costly:
The industrial site manager must :
- Be sure that your suppliers’ invoices are correct.
- Negotiate its services with full knowledge of the facts.
- Reduce logistical costs related to waiting times.
- Have a driving safety issue: speed, overloads, manoeuvres.
- Need activity reports, including on its carbon footprint.
Some issues on an industrial site:
20% gains
target set by the French government on energy efficiency between 2010 and 2030 per tonne produced
7%
of truck accidents are caused by reversing
70g of CO2
the average emission rate of a truck per tonne/kilometre
3 years
the minimum conservation period for data relating to site flows
Up to 5 years
of prison in the event of an accident involving an overloaded truck
Recurring issues:
Regulatory compliance and safety
Trace all material and transport flows leaving the site:
- Accurate, complete, and up-to-date traceability of products and by-products
- Detect and prohibit any vehicle that is overloaded or with a poorly distributed load from leaving the site
Ensure safety on site by preventing risky behaviours and situations:
- Reduce manoeuvres on site and respect speed limits
- Detect and manage overloaded vehicles upon their arrival on site
- Monitor potential intruder vehicles
“The current system only keeps this type of information for 15 days. If we want to look beyond that period, we have to consult the archives, which is complicated.“
Logistics manager
“I don’t know if my supplier is scamming me or not, and I have no way of controlling it.“
Cost optimisation for an industrial site
Control purchases:
- Control incoming raw material flows
Logistics costs:
- Reduce transport costs, manage disputes, and associated costs
- Limit additional costs that are due to a lack of control: wrong destination, wrong product, planning errors, poor stock management…
Associated operational costs:
- Automate data processing
- Reduce the number of software programs and associated time/costs: development, deployment, training, evolution
Commercial:
- Potential gains due to a more accurate evaluation of service provided
Ensure operational performance
By ensuring efficient site management:
- Avoid unnecessary waiting time on site
- Fluidify the transmission of information between workstations
- Use alert systems based on key criteria
- Ensure access to information for each relevant actor in order to implement the necessary corrective actions in real time
By adapting to the sites’ characteristics and activities:
- Flexibility of installation and adaptability to site evolution
- Visibility allowing the implementation of performance indicators and good practices
“We know that as soon as we have access to information quickly, we have significant opportunities for optimisation.“
