One
of the challenges is the regulation. As most of us already know, not all types
of vehicles can move freely in urban area especially the truck which carries
the freight load. There are regulations that had been stated by the government
to all the vehicles in order to make sure that we will have the sustainable
transportation system in our country. So, this has been one of the challenges
that need to be faced by all the carriers when they transit in the urban area.
With the complex documentation, all the carriers need to adapt with this
situation.
Next
is the congestion. In the urban area, there always the traffic congestion since
there are many vehicles that moved on the road every day. This kind of problem
will be the biggest challenges to the parties involved since this will affect
the whole Logistics process. Just imaging, once there is the traffic congestion
at the middle of the urban area where the transit terminal located, it will
make the total transit time become more longer. This will automatically
increase the lead time and customer waiting time. The inefficient process time
will reduce the customer service level and at the same time affect our profit.
Last
but not least is the safety challenge. When involve the safety, the urban area
is the most critical location. This includes the safety of the vehicles and
goods that they carried. The risk of loss and theft is very high at this area.
When they transit at the urban location, the freight is exposed to the high
risk as there are many cases which involve the losses of the cargo.
As
a conclusion, the urban area is the only place where most of the carrier
transit to complete the supply chain process. The area can be said as the
intersection point of the carrier. But it also becomes the biggest challenges
to the parties involves. So, they need to plan for their journey to ensure all
the process are going smooth and served the best services to their customer.
