Delivery equipment is used to deliver goods from one location to another. This equipment includes trucks, vans, trailers, and vehicles to transport goods.
Specialized Delivery Methods
- Food delivery drivers need reliable transportation like bicycles in cities.
- Address printers, envelope printers, trolleys help manage high mail volume.
- A milk float is a small electric vehicle for milk delivery.
- Private courier companies regularly deliver consumer goods for e-commerce businesses.
Technology and Efficiency in Delivery
High-speed ovens cut cooking time using multiple technologies like microwave, convection, etc. Combi ovens use steam and convection to cook faster. Identifying delivery delays helps evaluate reasons for late deliveries like vehicle faults during pickup and packing. Expanding this to show the percentage of delayed items and how late deliveries were indicates the effectiveness of delivery routes.
The Role of Outsourcing
When delivery is outsourced, third party logistics providers (3PLs) bring efficiency gains but less company involvement.
