業(yè)務(wù)基礎(chǔ)英語口語視頻教程(中級)：26_Product Distribution
We've got around about 45 suppliers in the East Anglian area...
...that we collect from the supplier sites.
We bring those products, those pallets, into our hub at Newmarket...
...and we've got three different temperature chambers where we then...
...consolidate each supplier's product with other suppliers' product....
....to make full loads going out to each of the individual RDCs that the retailers have got.
So we are optimising load fill, so you may have five suppliers each with five pallets...
...that need to go to the same depot.
Rather than running each of them individually, you'll bring them all in together,...
...and then put them all into individual loads going to the same place...
...to get the best load fill for the vehicles.
Each of our refrigerated trailers holds 26 pallets.
A significant proportion of our fleet are what's called dual temperature trailers,...
...which means they have a refrigerated unit at the front...
...a refrigerated unit at the back and an internal door that can be stowed in the roof,...
...so you can actually run two separate temperatures on the same vehicle.
If you spoke to Paul Day, he'd want 27 pallets in those 26 pallet spaces every day.
We optimised that we need a load fill of at least 23, 24 pallets.
If you start dropping below that, then you know you've just got wasted space.
Hence where the dual temperature vehicles come in,...
...because if you've got ten pallets of zero degrees and you've got 13 pallets of plus ten,...
...the great thing is rather than sending two half empty trucks out to deliver,...
...you can put them together and optimise your load fill.
