Returning empty pallets (venous logistics) to shipping with loaded products (arterial logistics)! Solved by palletization.
In recent years, more than half of the total driver population is over the age of 50, and there is a tendency for fewer young people to enter the workforce. One of the major reasons for the shortage of drivers is the poor loading efficiency of trucks.
To resolve this issue, it is necessary to implement "integrated palletization," which allows for consistent transportation from shipping to unloading while keeping the goods on pallets. However, there are challenges such as the costs of returning empty pallets, management costs, and inventory imbalances.
As a solution, we propose the rental of pallets. With an overwhelming number of bases, we can reduce return costs, and because we are directly connected to manufacturers, we can respond immediately to inventory imbalances.
[Case Summary]
■ Issues
- Poor pallet recovery rate, need to secure more pallets than necessary
- Costs associated with returning empty pallets and management
- Inventory imbalances
■ Improvements
- Reduction of return costs due to an overwhelming number of bases
- Reduction of pallet management costs
- Immediate response to inventory imbalances due to direct connection with manufacturers
