How do you make the right strategic decisions?
As a fleet manager, achieving goals means controlling the performance of your fleet. To achieve this, this often involves manually reporting the results of rotations, immobilization and maintenance by branch to Excel. Easier said than done. This means that each agency or operating site knows where their equipment is located, how it was used, and easily quantify the associated direct or indirect costs.
Extensive performance analysis
In this context, it is becoming more and more strategic for companies managing a fleet of equipment to equip themselves with data visualization, or in other words relevant statistical dashboards.
It is therefore necessary to adopt adapted tools for good control of its resources, real decision aids that make it possible to reduce costs, gain in efficiency and increase customer satisfaction.
Let's be concrete, becoming a professional data analysis detective is attractive but it requires a certain level of granularity in the information. To assess the performance of your inventory, for example, you must have been able to monitor the behavior of each piece of equipment. It is in this configuration that IoT technologies come into their own. The information provided in real time (GPS, Temperature, Shocks, etc.) by each unit installed on the hardware clearly enriches the analysis.
What can I do to go further? Simplified and ergonomic data visualization comes into play at this level by allowing you to:
- Measuring your current performance level
- Explore your data to locate priority areas for improvement
- Use granular data to take action on the ground
- Measure the impact of your actions
- Start again:)
Dataviz: your ally to maximize your rotations
How to take advantage of dataviz in logistics? Let's say you have equipped your trailers or packaging. Successful first step. Now, you want to know if your hardware investment matches your initial usage estimates.
Let's take an example. You are starting a job of maximizing the rotations of your fleet. The first step is for you to consult the volume of back and forth rotations. This gives you a global picture of your business, but doesn't allow you to take any action.
- Macro view of rotations
You decide to dig deeper, and refine your understanding through a visualization of flow rotation data. You therefore choose to focus on a red categorized flow, so that your actions have a visible impact.
- View of rotations by flow
On this flow, how do your cars, trailers, and specific packaging behave? This is what you will discover thanks to the rate of use, and the possible zoom in on unproductive times. For example, by clicking on the parking time at the station, the average time per station is displayed. You can then take action with your suppliers to implement best practices in order to optimize your turnover rate.
- View of unproductive times
And there you have it, congratulations my dear Watson! In a few clicks, thanks to data visualization, you have gone from a global analysis of rotations to a concrete corrective measure. In this module, you can also explore other analysis paths, focused on the filling, use and punctuality of deliveries.
