Impact on the supply chain infrastructure
We see the following having considerable cost impact
• DC and Transport and Distribution process alignment• Waiting times 88% Longer then 60 minutes
52% Between 60-90 minutes 36% Over 120 minutes
• Destination / Flow focussed preparation• Resource utilization
• Daylight or (low congested) night time operations• Idle time management• Industrialization
