Summary

Elizabeth Arden's supply chain management requires a monthly statistical report of their domestic trucking activities. In addition to their actual figures and numbers, they also require an idea of how or where they can save money within their supply chain. The concept here is to add functionality, which is currently a manual process, into CT2, to automate these high level reports of the monthly domestic trucking statistics.

Business Requirements & Current Business Process

Generate report from the TMS

This report is called "Supplier Detail Previous Month". It was built by Descartes according to Marc's/Elizabeth Arden's requirements. The report contains the number of lanes (Origin to destination) covered per month with the totals of their loads, broken down per carrier. These are the report columns set from the TM:

Supplier
Origin State
Origin Zip
Consignee
Destination State
Destination Zip
Carrier
Load Count
Total Charge
Total Weight
Total Pallets
Total Loose Package
Avg Weight Per Load
Avg Pallet Per Load
Avg Loose Package Per Load
Lowest Weight Per Load
Highest Weight Per Load
Lowest Pallet Per Load
Highest Pallet Per Load
Lowest Loose Package Per Load
Highest Loose Package Per Load
Cost Per Lb

These columns and their values are used to make up the entire report (workbook) that is given to Elizabeth Arden monthly.

Clean Up Results

1. As this report contains ALL lanes and their totals of loads, it will contain some moves that have total charges of $ 1.00. These need to be removed from the results as ALL $ 1.00 charges are for lanes that the business team does not have rates for when they tender a load to a carrier, as the TM will not allow a load to be tendered unless it is rated.

2. As ALL lanes must be unique, we double check the Supplier Names & Origin Zip with the Consignees Name & Destination Zip AND the carrier. If necessary I will combine lanes as the TMS considers the suppliers/consignee's companies name to determine if it is a separate lane or not; it does not look at the street address, city name &/or state to determine this, so it is possible to have duplicate lanes on the report.
