Fleet sizing performed by ILOS allows for increased productivity and a reduction of approximately R$ 20 million in annual costs.
The consulting firm ILOS carried out a project for a Brazilian plant, which had projections for increasing production.
The company was seeking a more efficient use of its truck fleet and personnel, in order to reduce costs and increase productivity.
Based on fleet sizing, contract analysis, cost estimation, and scenario definition, ILOS calculated the vehicle and personnel needs to meet projected demand in the following years. The project identified opportunities to improve the efficiency of each asset, increasing equipment utilization and productivity rates.
Even with a projected 10% growth in demand for the following year, ILOS indicated that it is possible to reduce the company's total fleet assets by 20% to 40% in different scenarios, representing annual savings of around R$ 20 million.
