Why this screen matters

\n

Today CS uploads to OneDrive, Power Automate emails the planner, and the planner retypes the job into Excel. The same data entered twice, and anything arriving after 17:00 is planned by Export staff with no capacity to record it. One entry point with one job ID removes the double handling and closes the night gap.

Load Plan — YR2880Y

\n

Once the stop order is fixed, the loading order follows from it. Last stop loads first and deepest; first stop sits at the tailgate. The cargohand gets one sheet instead of a mental model.

What this is and is not

\n

This is sequence-aware bay allocation — reverse stop order across three bays. It gets most of the practical benefit for a cargohand with a trolley.

\n

It is not true 3D bin packing. Optimising the stacking of irregular cargo by volume and weight distribution is an NP-hard problem with dedicated commercial software, and it sits in Phase 3 of the proposal rather than this capstone.

Attention

\n

\n Schematic view — stops and routes are plotted from real coordinates, but the island outline is\n stylised and there is no basemap. Nothing here loads from the internet, so it renders the same on a\n locked-down laptop, behind a VPN, or offline. A OneMap basemap is an enhancement for production, not\n a dependency for the demo. Vehicle positions are last known, not a live feed.\n

\n

\n\n

\n

What \"live\" honestly means

\n

A web app cannot track a phone in the background. The moment a driver locks the screen or opens WhatsApp, position updates stop. So the map shows the last known position and how long ago it was reported, never a fake moving dot.

\n

Option 2, named in the proposal as the upgrade: a telematics unit in each truck at roughly $150 plus subscription. Always on, independent of the driver's phone, and it tracks the vehicle rather than the person — which is also the better privacy position.

Why the map stays hidden until they are next

\n

Showing a live vehicle position to every customer all day exposes the driver's whole route and working pattern to people outside the company. Stop count answers the real question — \"roughly when?\" — without that. The map appears only for the customer actually being served next, which is the same pattern the consumer couriers use.

\n

A truck taken off the road disappears from the Planning Board immediately. Distance comes from the odometer, not from the route the planner drew.

Truck	Type	Payload	Status	Odo start	Odo end	Actual km	Planned km	Variance	Action

\n

\n\n

\n

Why odometer, not GPS

\n

GPS-derived distance over-reads badly — position jitter while a truck sits at a loading bay adds phantom kilometres all day. Two odometer readings are simpler, more accurate, and match what fuel and servicing are billed against. GPS breadcrumbs are still useful for the shape of the route, which is what the Live Map draws.

\n

The variance column is a KPI in its own right: a consistently large gap between planned and actual means either the plan is unrealistic or the route is not being followed. Both are worth knowing.

The decision this system exists to inform

\n

Outsourced volume grew 62% in six months. The question the board is actually facing is whether to buy a seventh truck or keep paying vendors — and today there is no figure that answers it, because internal jobs carry no cost and outsourced jobs carry no operational record.

\n

\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

Lane	Jobs Aug	Internal cost/job	Vendor rate/job	Gap	Read
West — Tuas / Jurong	148	$168	$245	-$77	Keep internal
East — Changi / Loyang	96	$142	$190	-$48	Keep internal
North — Woodlands / AMK	71	$203	$188	+$15	Outsource
Central — Pandan / PP	114	$155	$205	-$50	Keep internal

Illustrative figures. Real values need truck capacities, fuel, and the driver hours this system will start capturing — which is exactly the point.
