Answer: Provided in the explanation section
Explanation:
A YMS acts an interface between a WMS and TMS.The evaluation system with the key performance indicators are mentioned in the table below.
NOTE: The analysis follows in this order given below
- Metric
- Description
- Comments
Metric 1
<u>Trailer utilization</u>
Description :This captures the status of the trailer whether it is in the yard or is in transit
Comments : Helps in measuring the trailer productivity on a daily ,weekly or monthly basis
Metric 2
<u>Driver utilization</u>
Description : This captures the status of the driver whether the driver is in the yard or is in transit
Comments : Helps in measuring the driver productivity on a periodic basis
Metric 3
<u>Trailer sequence</u>
Description : This captures the order of movement of trailers in the yard on a given day, week or month
Comments : Helps in measuring the order fulfilment efficiency i.e. whether the priority orders have been serviced first or not
Metric 4
<u>Total time in yard</u>
Description : This captures the time spent by the trailer in the yard from the time it enters and leaves the yard
Comments : This helps in measuring the time taken to fulfill a particular request
⇒ Capturing these metrics need inputs from both WMS and TMS, and also the trailers need to have RFID tags attached to them.Then compare these performance metrics with the ones prior to the deployment of YMS to identify the percent gains in the overall operational productivity.
cheers i hope this helped !!
