Logistics Solution at TSL
- This solution considers Cost, Time, and Resource/Constraint factors.
Dispatch Planning
- The transportation terms used for dispatch are:
- EXW (Ex Works): This term means the customer organizes transportation for their own goods. The Logistics team is not involved in the transportation.
- ERS (Ex Siding): This term means the logistics team arranges the rake for transportation for delivery up to the siding as agreed with the customer. The customer is responsible for the transportation from the siding onwards.
- FOR (Free On Rail): Under this term, the logistics team arranges the transportation for delivery to the customer location, using rail, road, or coastal vessels.
-
Key cost components considered include:
- Base Freight
- Idle Freight
- Handling Cost
- Unitization Cost
- Second Leg Cost
- Terminal Charges
- Lead time
- Type of resource
- Resource Utilization is also considered in dispatch planning.
- DC Cost is considered in the context of dispatch planning.
Cost Components
- There are wagon and 2 point rake cost components:
- Wagon: These costs are assessed for steel and billet types.
- 2 Point Rake: Cost surcharges are 10% for steel and billet, and apply to Minimum 10w, for each destination, with specific distance requirements.
