Your supervisor has assigned you to study Carbide’s Denver location. This location handles an average of 52.7 trucks per day. On Tuesdays and Fridays, the count is usually over 75 trucks. About half of the shipments are set up by Denver operations, which has the ability to reschedule product pickup times with a 4-hour notice to the designated carrier. The remaining shipments are set up by the customer, either using the customer’s own or contracted equipment. These vehicles often just show up at the gate, sometimes with an unanticipated purchase order in hand.

 

Carbide’s current contracts with its carriers allow drivers to wait up to 1 hour at any single loading facility without incurring demurrage. Carbide claims to achieve a 90% success in maintaining a 2-hour gate-to-gate service time with no truck spending more than 4 hours gate-to-gate. If customer-owned trucks are made to wait, then goodwill suffers.

 

Regardless of whether the truck is scheduled by Carbide or contracted by customer, all trucks have to transit throughout the plant to pick up their full complement of items. Sometimes, truck drivers will get impatient and leave for another, hopefully less busy, loading facility. This, of course, adds unnecessary traffic through the plant, aggravating the union safety committee.
