About
Data Masters collaborated with a major US bottling company to redesign its truck loading process and reduce detention fees across multiple facilities by implementing a truck loading prioritization algorithm. The optimization also uncovered $194,000+ in savings at a single location through increased on time deliveries. The result was a measurable uplift in shipment efficiency and a clear operational ROI.
Challenge, approach, and impact
Truck Loading Prioritization Algorithm
Designed and implemented a truck loading prioritization algorithm tailored to the client’s operational realities to improve how trailers were sequenced and serviced across multiple facilities, resulting in a 20–40% reduction in detention costs per plant and a 10-minute decrease in average yard processing time per truck.
Optimization Uncovered Savings
Uncovered $194,000+ in savings at a single location through increased on-time deliveries, resulting in a measurable uplift in shipment efficiency and a clear operational ROI.
Applied Methodology
Followed a structured, multi-phase approach to develop and deploy an intelligent trailer prioritization solution, including in-depth analysis, three-phase implementation plan (Analysis, Modeling, Testing & Re-adjustment), agile methods, weekly working sessions, validation through testing, and seamless integration with Manhattan WMS.
Solutions Implemented
Implemented an AI-powered Trailer Prioritization Algorithm, customizable priority ranking, API-driven system integration, Azure-based deployment, focus on customer service level optimization, and cost minimization logic.
