Logistics is a process of managing human, information and material flows based on cost minimization. To improve its efficiency, many enterprises use the software product "1C: Enterprise 8. TMS Logistics. Transportation Management". In the article, we will consider its features.

General characteristics

The program "1C: Logistics. Transportation Management" is used to automate the flow control. The main goal is to increase the profitability of operations.

Software solution "1C: Enterprise. Logistics. Transportation Management" was created on the basis of international experience, based on the analysis of the needs of domestic enterprises.

The system allows you to manage the transportation of inventory items from the supplier to the warehouse and to the end user.

Who can use the product?

Software solution"1C: TMS Logistics. Transportation Management" is aimed at companies that seek to optimize the process as much as possible.

Product can apply:

1. Transport companies carrying out transportation by any vehicle, including mixed schemes. Enterprises can use not only their own fleet, but also use the services of other companies to transport cargo on certain sections of the route.
2. Transport and logistics divisions of manufacturing, trading and other companies that deliver goods and materials from suppliers to the warehouse and to the final buyer. Units can also use vehicles from their own fleet or from third parties.
3. Purchasing department in the process of planning and controlling the delivery of goods by the supplier. The system "1C: Enterprise 8.1c. Logistics. Transportation Management" allows you to take into account all current and future deliveries and predict the company's trade and production work.
4. Sales department in planning and controlling the shipment of products from the warehouse of the enterprise, if it is delivered to consumers.
5. Company departments responsible for moving goods between warehouses.

Objectives of the software product

The system "1C 8: Logistics. Transportation Management" allows you to solve the most common problems of transport logistics. Specifically:

1. Inefficient use of vehicle types and models due to the lack of selection algorithms that take into accountmaximum use of vehicle characteristics (carrying capacity, etc.).
2. Increased mileage due to lack of optimal routing schemes.
3. Lack/absence of data exchange between company departments involved in transportation.
4. Lack of control over the location of the vehicle and the state of the cargo in transit.
5. Lack of a reporting scheme to analyze the effectiveness and quality of delivery for management decisions.

Cost minimization

The intensive increase in cargo traffic and the need to improve the quality of service for partners and consumers are forcing enterprises to reconsider the composition of transportation costs.

Automated control system "1C: Transportation Management" allows you to:

1. Increase the volume of transported goods without expanding the vehicle fleet.
2. Reduce the proportion of "idle" runs.
3. Improve the accuracy and quality of order fulfillment.
4. Reduce staff costs.
5. Automatically generate travel and shipping documentation.
6. Get up-to-date information on various performance indicators.

Application areas

Software product "1C: Logistics. Transportation Management" allows you to:

1. Consider the transport and logistics department of the company as a financially responsible center. This, in turn, helps to make informed decisions related toinvolvement of third-party enterprises in the implementation of certain tasks in the process of transportation. In addition, the subdivision gets the opportunity to conduct internal self-financing, to form prices for services provided to other departments of the company.
2. Use different types and types of vehicles depending on the stage of delivery (air, courier service, etc.).
3. Manage transportation with both own and borrowed funds.
4. Register cargo both as goods (according to specifications) and as impersonal units (places, pallets, boxes, etc.).
5. Control all stages of transportation.

2. Obtaining analytical information to assess the main parameters of the efficiency of completed orders depending on the type of vehicle, as well as to analyze the accumulated statisticalinformation.

The software solution also allows you to organize functional work areas for purchasing / sales managers, dispatchers, logisticians, department heads.

Transportation demand management

These needs may appear on the basis of orders from the buyer, supplier, as well as the planned movement of inventory items between the warehouses of the enterprise itself.

Registration is carried out by the manager of the purchasing or sales department or the employee accepting applications. At the same time, the following are automated:

• Filling out an application for transportation and indicating the information available at that moment. It includes, in particular, information about the nomenclature of the cargo, the recipient, the sender and their addresses, the time interval for delivery, and information about contact persons.
• Canceling an order before execution starts.
• Fulfillment control: "refused", "completed", "in progress".

Task Management

As part of this direction, the design is automated with the help of a software product:

• tasks based on information from the application;
• refusal to execute the application;
• delivery jobs.

In the latter case, the registration of the nomenclature composition, volumetric and weight parameters of the cargo and places, transportation conditions, delivery chain, information about the contractor at each stage.

In addition, job cancellation is automated before it starts.

Control

In the system "1C: Logistics. Transportation Management" registers tasks for multi- and unimodal transportation, consisting of several links in the chain of the logistics process. Both the company directly accepting applications and a third-party transport organization can act as the executor of the delivery stage.

The software product allows you to create a workplace for an employee who analyzes transportation requests, generates tasks and develops the optimal delivery chain for each cargo.

Optimization of transportation management

Automatically carried out:

1. Supervision of issued flights with the possibility of re-routing.
2. Control of the execution of delivery with tracking the movement of the vehicle on the way.
3. Cancellation of missions included in the flight.
4. Control of changes in the state of cargo (registration of losses, shortages).
5. Accounting for actual shipping costs.

With the help of the "1C: Logistics" system, you can create a workplace for an employee who completes and routes flights.

Resource management

With the help of the program are carried out:

1. Control and analysis of requests for allocation of resources for flight operations.
2. Confirmation of requests and their execution.
3. Filing a refusal to provide a vehicle for flights.

The program functions allow you to create a work area for the head of the transport department or another employee authorized todistribution of vehicles and personnel for specific flights.

Analytical reporting

The program can analyze:

1. Fulfillment of applications for the delivery of goods.
2. Execution of tasks for transportation along the links of the supply chains established in them.
3. Satisfy vehicle requests.
4. Operating flights.
5. Shipping costs.
6. Time to process jobs.

In an automated mode, the analysis of technological, technical, qualitative indicators of the effectiveness of the use of the vehicle is carried out. These include odds:

1. Using load capacity. It is calculated by dividing the amount of cargo by the carrying capacity of the vehicle.
2. Volume use. It is determined by dividing the volume of cargo per flight by the volume of the vehicle.
3. Unit costs for own/hired transport. It is calculated by dividing the total cost by the amount of cargo delivered.
4. Transport efficiency. It is determined by dividing the amount of cargo transported by the number of machine hours (days).
5. Completed tasks. It is calculated by dividing the number of completed tasks by their total number.
6. Refusal to provide a vehicle. It is calculated by dividing the number of rejections by the total number of applications.

Visualization of information on electronic maps

This feature improves dispatcher efficiency in routing. Maps inare not included in the software package. At the same time, work with them will be supported if there are licenses purchased from the copyright holders.

The company independently chooses the cards it will work with based on needs.
