Packing and loading challenges in your logistics supply chain

For most companies in manufacturing, retail and transportation, logistics costs have a considerable impact on profitability. Transportation and logistics-related costs, as a percentage of sales, range from 9% to 14% depending on the industry. Optimized packing and loading can lead to improved fill rates, carrier selection and/or means of transport, helping you reduce logistics costs.

SAP pallet management and load optimization

A complex equation – pallet management and load optimization

How many products fit per container?
How should I organize loads at DCs for picking and loading efficiency?
Which orders will fit into a given truck considering the route?
How can I respect product-related constraints and create secure, stable loads for the best fitting vehicle types?
When are the maximum limits for axle weights reached?

If you face questions like these on a daily basis, you know it can be hard to arrive at an optimal mix for your packing and transportation units. To meet the challenge in today’s complex supply chain landscape, you need advanced decision support.

The solution: ORTEC´s SAP logistics software for load optimization and pallet management.

Business applications for load applications | ORTEC pallet and load optimization

Demand-driven replenishment
Combine product demand quantities and existing sales orders from plant to plant or plant to distribution center in full-truckloads with maximum fill-rate, using configurable priority rules and special fill-up logic.

Order-based full-truckload planning
Change the sales (outbound) or purchase (inbound) order to create a maximum fill rate and avoid unused space or overflow in a second transport unit.

Automated outbound delivery split
Allocate the products of a very large outbound delivery automatically onto multiple, optimally used transport units within the SAP system.

Combine routing and loading for transportation planning
Ensure that a tour planned with ORTEC Route Scheduling for SAP is feasible from a capacity perspective.

4 Scenarios for Pallet & Load Building

Top features of ORTEC Load Building for SAP

Consider real products dimensions and weights, using constraints such as stacking rules, allowed orientations, and compatibility rules.
Consider multiple optimization objectives such as minimize load volume, minimize load length, minimize costs and others.
Optimize for a single load carrier or means of transport, or find the best mix out of multiple (e.g. 20’ and 40’ containers).
Define your own load carriers and means of transport, such as carton, box, pallet, various truck types (standard, double decker with beams, double decker with single floor, gooseneck, semi-trailer), various container types (standard, open-top, flat rack), railcar, and air cargo containers.
Use specific rules for individual orders to overrule general rules, such as maximum pallet load height or using separator pallets different product layers.
Create secure and stable loads by considering axle weight and center of gravity.
Use the result as instructions for your execution in the warehouse.
Optimize pallet building, truck loading and vehicle routing simultaneously.
