Abstract
Innovations and improvements in the transportation technology have increased companies’ dissatisfaction with the traditional ways of transporting vehicles and goods. The supply chain and transportation process were analyzed for Laxmi Intercontinental Pvt. Ltd. to study how the company could improve the transportation of cars to dealers. Laxmi Intercontinental Pvt. Ltd. is the only authorized dealer of Hyundai vehicles in Nepal, and it has 11 dealers and 13 servicing centers. Laxmi Intercontinental Pvt. Ltd. mainly imports cars and sells cars to the dealers. The company deals with a massive supply chain and transportation operations.
The objective of the study was to analyze the collected data from the company and explain how the transportation process could be improved by using modern available tools and technologies. All the data were collected by using self-observation, books, journals, literature reviews, articles, and interviews. The research started by analyzing the current supply chain and transportation process. Due to the lack of infrastructure and other modes of transportation, research was conducted to improve road transportation.
As a result, poor techniques and traditional ways for dispatching the cars were identified. The traditional way of transporting cars was costly, fuel-consuming, risky, inefficient, and difficult to monitor.
Large cars carrying trucks were proposed to be used for transporting the cars to the dealers, which is cost-effective, requires less manpower, is easy to monitor and safe as well as less fuel consuming and with lower CO2 emissions. The use of an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) was also suggested to make the dispatch process more effective and to reduce the lead time for the dispatch process.
