21.01.2022 Needless to say logistics and trucking industry is complicated. Nowadays, it's not only about getting the goods from point A to point B but it has many included factors.

Australian Logistics contribute approximately 2% to Australian economy. One out of nine traffic deaths result from collisions with large trucks. It is important to practice safe driving practices.

13.01.2022 5 Supply Chain Basics The following points highlight the supply chain basics that a company must check in order to maximise profit. 1). Supply Chain Strategy... A company must have a commonly understood supply chain strategy. It sounds obvious but some companies still don't have any supply chain strategy which affect their business in a negative manner. 2). Customer Service Is Important Progressive companies have learned how to leverage their supply chain as a customer service enhancer. Your customers won't love you for the bad service but your competitors will, remember that. 3).Distribution Distribution network optimisation is a must and companies that havent optimised their distribution networks are missing a golden opportunity, because network design optimisation can yield impressive savings and improve the customer experience. 4). Warehouse Management Optimisation does not mean well laid-out warehouse. Effective management and automation in the warehouse decide its efficiency. Running an effective warehouse is dependent upon solid leadership and management and employee engagement. 5). Supplier Performance There is no supply chain without suppliers. Without your suppliers, the performance of your warehouses, transportation or any of the other supply chain basics won't matter much.Your suppliers matter and so does their performance.

12.01.2022 Australia's Truck Driver Shortage We all know about the projected shortfalls in the difference between the actual number of drivers out there and what is actually needed. And we are also aware of other things like ageing truck driver workforce, potential drivers unwilling to drive the long stretches and, of course, the millennial effect, in which they would rather be doing something cooler than driving a truck for a living. Unfortunately, the above-mentioned things remain... the really consistent themes and even if the employment outlook appears to be improving we don't the see any positive change in the shortfall of truck drivers. There are numerous other reasons for the lower turnover percentage on the truckload side but the hope of improvement remains the same for 2017. Despite the falling turnover rate, carriers continue to report difficulty finding well-qualified drivers, a problem that will not only persist but get worse as the freight economy improves. The shortage of truck drivers stands high and has the potential to go higher due to industrial growth and ageing driver workforce and also noting that if current trends remain intact, the driver shortage could be significantly worse in the next ten years. So what needs to be done to improve the situation? Rising driver pay is a good option to start with but it is not as easy as it sounds, given the typically very thin carrier margins. Signing bonuses can help too, but they often lack lasting impact, due to the demand-sensitive nature of trucking. In other words, drivers move around a lot due to a better offer from someone else. Even with an increased onus on augmenting driver training, retention, and compensation packages, many carriers are still struggling with how to fill the empty seats. The ongoing driver shortage still remains a major factor for tight over the road capacity, which has been burdensome for shippers who pay higher rates for getting their freight moved in a timely and efficient manner. Modern heavy vehicles are more technologically advanced than most cars, with safety features including lane change assistance, emergency braking and satellite tracking. But despite technological progress, truck driving remains one of the least safe professions in Australia, with a fatality rate of 20 deaths per 100,000 workers, which is 12 times above average, according to Safe Work Australia. Also, it can't be ignored that the truck driving profession has an image problem in Australia which contributes to its failure to attract young workers. Australia is rapidly running short of truck drivers and is on course for an economic hit in the next decade as transport companies increasingly fail to find enough staff to meet the growing demand to move freight. There is always a ray of hope for improvement but until then things continue to move down a highway of uncertainty when it comes to the never-ending truck driver shortage.

02.01.2022 The world has become a global village and Internet has changed the traditional business management by opening the gates of a world that desires and demands more. In this world of Internet, everyone seeks and shares more. The new customer expects more and the traditional speed and ideas of businesses are not enough for him. This new customer demands imagination and innovation. He has new requirements and needs new products. All companies understand that they cannot sell only o...ne product for years with the same ideas and need fresh ideas to make something new. So how do the companies get different ideas for new products and services? This is done by innovation management. Innovation management is more than gathering fresh ideas for new products and services. It also concentrates on mobilizing and competing. Innovation is necessary for competition. Its important to be imaginative and creative and come up with new ideas. Companies need to redefine and repurpose what they have and they do the same by using the new knowledge to offer a new product or service that customers want. How does it work? Innovation management involves inception of ideas, prioritization, implementation and evaluation. Inception is traditional innovation approach to collect the ideas. The ideas may come from the email suggestion or direct requests from customers asking for specific features for a product. It can also come from the analysis of market trends. Inception helps in identification of problems, generation of ideas and problem-solving. Prioritization comes after Inception. Organizations collect numerous ideas and the process of organizing these ideas in accordance to their importance is prioritization. Prioritization involves filtering and selection of the most suitable ideas for further development or implementation.Implementation, as the name suggests, is a process of managing and creating the necessary conditions for research, team creation and financing to make a prototype product based on prioritized ideas and see how it works. Finally, the outcome is evaluated. Goals of innovation: Improving quality Creation of new market Extension of product range Improving production process Replacement or improvement of product and services Innovation management helps in creating new business models, products, services and technologies specially designed for the constantly changing market. It also enhances customer satisfaction and employee engagement. In the age where a company uses digital technology to improve its performance and service, other competitive companies are challenged with the need to innovate more and quickly. Innovation management improves business growth and helps such companies to stay ahead of their competitors.
