If you have ever heard the old saying "better to be lucky than smart", you can't help but think of the recent decline in world diesel prices and what is going on in the mind of the transportation manager. This could be a real cost saver to the industry and definite transportation solution even if it was a stroke of luck.
But structural changes are what the smart companies are looking for. They want something that is a long lasting transportation solution. They are interested in reducing both costs and decreasing their carbon foot prints.
It is well known by experts that diesel costs will continue to fluctuate and continue to rise in the future. New refineries or bio-diesel are the only things that can alleviate tight production capacity.
A recent article in the Wall Street Journal (Wall Street Journal Reports on Diesel Prices) dealt with the matter. You can read about it with additional commentary by Tom Moore, a highly regarded transportation consultant who works for many of the Fortune 50 companies such as Procter & Gamble and BP by going to http://www.transportationoptimization.com/twoblog.asp.
Look at what well-run logistics operations are doing. Kraft is using new technologies to convert requirements into truckload shipments. P&G uses new optimization systems that not only cut costs but also reduces global warming. These companies stay abreast of the latest technologies to maximize efficiencies to find the best transportation solutions.
Kraft uses a non-optimizing load builder that was replaced with AutoVLB - also known as Super Truck from Transportation l Warehouse Optimization. This enabled much bigger shipments (more product - fewer trucks) and, more importantly, guided loaders in how to construct the optimized load. Kraft's transportation solution is saving big money together while eliminating a significant part of their carbon footprint.
