Load Performance Indicator (LPI)
Maximize cargo capacity utilisation
What is LPI?
The Load Performance Indicator (LPI) measures how efficiently cargo capacity is used on routes. Higher LPI signifies better planning and greater efficiency, leading to fuller vehicles and fewer trips.
Optimized Planning
Better planning leads to higher LPI.
Reduced Vehicles
Fuller vehicles mean fewer trucks on the road.
Environmental Impact
Higher LPI reduces vehicle kilometers and environmental impact.
Factors Influencing LPI
Several factors impact the Load Performance Indicator, from shipment consolidation to equipment type. Understanding these helps optimize cargo capacity utilization.
Shipment Consolidation
Good consolidation of shipments improves LPI.
Route Efficiency
Fewer kilometers between stops enhances efficiency.
Empty Kilometers
Minimizing empty truck mileage is crucial.
Operational Constraints
Traffic, detours, time windows, and SLAs affect LPI.
Equipment Access
Type of equipment accessible at locations plays a role.
