One of the country’s leading port operations faced the challenge of ensuring that its facilities could support the expected increase in cargo movement through 2041. In partnership with EYF, the company sought a strategic solution to optimize its operational capacity and ensure that growing demand was met efficiently, while maintaining established quality standards.
With over 25 years of experience in port operations and integrated logistics, the company stands out for its continuous innovation and excellence in service. Faced with accelerated growth projections, the company identified the need to adjust its road operations to handle the increased volume, without compromising the level of service offered to customers.
Through a digital planning solution developed by EYF, the company was able to plan different scenarios and check terminal capacity, identifying potential inefficiencies and ensuring that its operations were prepared to absorb future demand effectively and safely.
Solutions
The solution developed by EYF included the creation of a dynamic and personalized digital plan that took into account both the company’s current operations and growth projections. This allowed the company to predict how its road operations would respond to increased demand and identify operational adjustments needed to ensure continued efficiency.
Furthermore, the capacity analysis was performed from two perspectives: operational and commercial. Based on these analyses, the company was able to identify inefficiencies generated by peak demand and opportunities for optimization, such as the use of unusual times to maximize cargo movement.
Results
With the implementation of the digital planning solution, the company achieved significant results:
- Absorption of 20% more road demand than initially planned, ensuring that the company was prepared for growth until 2041
- Capacity to move up to 2.16 million m³ of road cargo per year, while maintaining assured service levels.
- 50% reduction in truck routing time, in addition to a 34% improvement in road transport lead time.
- Identification of operational inefficiencies and improvements that allowed the company to adjust its operations in an efficient and sustainable manner.
Impact
With the ability to test future scenarios and adjust operations based on concrete data, company leaders began to make more assertive and informed decisions. This not only ensured the absorption of projected demand, but also enabled the validation of strategic investments needed to sustain the company’s long-term growth.
This innovative approach gave the company a clear vision of its future operations, helping to optimize processes, identify inefficiencies and ensure the infrastructure was ready to support increased demand efficiently and safely.
