ABSTRACT
This study is carried out to analyze the cargo transport delays in XYZ Logistics. The
objectives of this study to assess the current cargo transport process (from receipt of booking
order up to completion of the pick-up and delivery service) of XYZ Logistics, to identify the
root cause/s of the cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics and classify the preventable and
unpreventable factors causing the delay, and to recommend solutions that will
eliminate/reduce the preventable factors causing the cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics.
The structured interview was done with the respective workers and was supported from
documents review in order to support the analysis. The structured interview can be analyzed
using IE-EMG tools: Process Mapping, Pareto Analysis, Why-Why Analysis, and How-How
Analysis. The findings revealed that the factors that contribute to the cargo transport delays
are due to the delay in dispatching the assigned truck, delay in port area, and road accidents.
In order to avoid this problem occur in the future, the author recommended XYZ Logistics to
implement the usage of Road Hazard Mapping, increase their leadtime for transport process,
modify their existing Transport (Pick Up and Delivery) Process, increase the value of their
current Job Qualifications for Drivers and Helpers/pahinante, and modify their existing
Daily Vehicle Inspection checklist.
This practicum paper would not have been possible without the most appreciated support that
the author has received from the following people.

Maintaining lower operational costs for every company in different industries is one
significant factor to consider to get more value to its financial assets or to increase the
operating income. Most of the companies were simultaneously trying to find different ways
in order to lower their cost structure and transform fixed costs into variable costs. In line with
Chain Management, has emerged as one of the major areas for companies under different
connected by business, suppliers, and customers with a main objective of providing goods to
customers at the right time with the right price (Frazelle, 2002). While Logistics is deem to
be recognized as wide set of activities that contributes to the transformation and goods
logistics services has been a vital consideration of these companies in order to lower their
operational costs. Its beginning can be traced during the years 1970s and 1980s. With third-
party logistics service providers, these companies were able to acquire an expertise and
resources that dont exist internally based on competitive advantage, special resources, and
special knowledge. Also, third-party logistics service providers were able to help these
companies to focus on their core competencies, enhance their operations and customer
service, and more importantly, to improve their processes by cutting costs and avoiding
company as they assist the companys core business. In view of this, an effective delivery
process is a requirement that a third-party logistics provider must comply in order to achieve
delivery target if theres any (i.e. time of arrival of the delivery). If the cargoes being
delivered were late and as a result, delay in the execution of the next process, it may cause
penalties in certain succeeding processes. According to Baritz and Zissman (1983), there are
several common customer complaints. The previous research shown in Figure 1.1 illustrates
what the respondents felt were the most common service failures. Late delivery, a logistics
customer service variable, accounted for nearly half of the mentioned customer service
With the result of the research conducted showing the common complaints of the
customers, delivery performance should be considered as one of the main drivers in the fields
of third-party logistics. This aspect of delivery performance generally has two dimensions:
speed and reliability (Stock et al., 1998). Speed is meant in the sense of having short lead,
response and delivery times as well as being flexible to be able to quickly adjust the
organization and respond to new demands while reliability is illustrated to be the number of
items delivered on time divided by total number of deliveries. On a general outlook, moving
product across international borders is like negotiating an intricate maze, riddled with
potential pitfalls thus, making the third-party logistics service providers to handle the
services with the consideration of dealing with the sensitivity of its environment. Global
logistics, though global in nature, must still take into account national and regional
differences (Russel and Taylor, 2011). Customs, business practices, and regulations can
change widely from country to country and even domestically within a country.
Third-party logistics is an essential part of a big sector in the Philippines called the
Transport and Storage Sector. This sector contributes a big factor in everyday activity of
various businesses. It encompasses a wide range of services and exists in every single
country around the world. This sector can be broken down into industries such as Land
sectors within the scope of the 2012 Census of Philippine Business and Industry (CPBI)
classified under the 2009 Philippine Standard Industrial Classification (PSIC). This sector is
then broken down to different industries: (1) Transport via Buses Industry, (2) Other Land
Transport Industry, (3) Sea and Coastal Water Transport Industry (4) Passenger Air Transport
Industry, (5) Support Activities for Transportation Industry (mainly includes freight
forwarding, customs brokerage, and logistics), and (6) Other Transport and Storage
Industries.

and Storage Sector indeed plays a vital role in the growth of other sectors of the Philippine
economy, in particular.
Based on the final results of 2012 Census of Philippine Business and Industry (CBPI)
released most recently by the Philippine Statistics Office dated 29 th of December 2014, there
were 2,327 establishments engaged in Transport and Storage Sector. In terms of number of

had the largest impact among the industries under Transport and Storage sector. This
industry, as already said, includes freight forwarding, customs brokerage, logistics, etc.
In general, the activities involved in Support Activities for Transportation Industry are

said to be higher by 11.6% than the year 2016 budget of P3.002 trillion and represents 21%
of the projected Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for 2017. This is in accordance with the
information released by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM). With the said
budget, the government has increased the allotment for building new infrastructures (roads

there could be lower operational costs and higher service efficiency with required safety
standards. Thus, strong and powerful position in such environment could be achieved. Other
than that, new companies under this industry could be put up. Also, there could be merging or
acquiring of existing third-party logistics providers operating in the local market which will
result to increased market share. With big companies operating on international level, an
Economically, the level of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has always been
considered to have a vital role in the growth of the Support Activities for Transportation
Industry. It significantly acts as a main driver of the industrys growth in terms of economic
factor. The GDP figure announced by Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia
on August 18, 2016, is 6.8% which made the Philippines the fastest growing economy in the
region. Secretary Pernia also said that the figure gives the government confidence that it
would be able to hit the official government target of 7% to 8% for the entire year of 2016.
The high growth recorded for the second quarter of 2016 was driven mainly by the industry
and services sectors. The industry sector, where Support Activities for Transportation
Industry belongs, hits 6.9% growth. The services sector, meanwhile, recorded a growth of
8.4%. Overall, economic production and growth which is represented by Gross Domestic
Product (GDP), has a large impact on the growth of the Support Activities for Transportation
Industry. For instance, when the Philippine economy is healthy, there could be low
unemployment rate and wages could likely be increased as the industry demands labor to
meet the growing economy. On the other note, if an economic crisis appears, companies
under this industry should consider not to stop investment plans, continue to strengthen their
position in the market and expand if possible in order to maintain their operations and remain
in the industry.
In terms of social factors, attitudes, interests and opinions of the clients of companies
are the main drivers of the growth of the Support Activities for Transportation Industry.
Third-party logistics service providers in particular, which represents a big part of this
industry, are responsible in dealing with these social factors. They must be able to offer
services that aim to complement and benefit their clients' needs and wants. These third-party
logistics service providers need to establish their brand either locally, internationally, or both
and achieve good and reliable image and service quality among their clients so that they
would not lose market share and demand for their services being offered. However, it is not
only them that socially affect this industry. There are also other parts of working environment
involved that they are in contact with like employees, investors, etc. Satisfaction surveys for
clients, employees, and market as a whole will help them to build its brand and image,
increase employees commitment and shape public awareness that will essentially result to
the improvement of this industry. An illustration in particular that is related to social aspect is
the problem of traffic congestion that is currently being faced by the people in the
Philippines. It has been a problem since a high volume of public and private vehicles are all
over the Metro and any other major roads in the country. It significantly affects the Support
Activities for Transportation Industry in such a way that when stuck in traffic during the
delivery process, truck drivers and their accompanying person would not be able to go home
on time to spend the rest of the day with their families due to working beyond their duty
hours in order for them to get to the warehouse. Thus, there would be an appearance of
different social problems among their family members and other society members related to
them as well.
Technological factors also have a significant place in Support Activities for
Transportation Industry as it rapidly moves the companies forward. One of the technologies
influencing this industry is the Information and Communications Technology. The exchange
of information between the people involved in this industry will be faster which will give
benefit to the third-party logistics service providers as they can respond quickly to any
changes in their operations. However, it brings extra pressure on them because with this
benefit, they are expected to deliver on time. Furthermore, Warehouse and Transportation
Management Systems is also influencing this industry. This is because there could be
challenges like dealing with the safety transport of sensitive products such as
and Transportation Management Systems for Support Activities for Transportation Industry.
In view of this, the operations of third-party logistics providers are not only about vehicles
and aircrafts. There are other specific considerations that need technological development
and improvement such as posting, collection, sorting, transport, warehousing, and delivery.
Generally, to be able to meet quality standards and gain advantage among market
competition, speed and reliability are the key success factors for this industry.
For operations of every third-party logistics provider, legal factor is also important.
They have obligations like directives, taxes, rules and regulations that they must be aligned
with to be able to operate. These obligations that they must be aware of are mainly related to
the environment and company-client relationship. They are forced to invest into
environmentally friendly operations and need to have a good connection with their clients.
Support Activities for Transportation Industry involves trucking services which have
significant impact on the green house gases in the atmosphere. This shows that
environmental factor is also influencing the said industry. Mobility in the Philippines, to be
specific, has increased and brought many indisputable advantages that must be weighed to
avoid complications with respect to the environment. Many countries other than the
Philippines have already issued legislation that forces not just logistics companies but also
other companies related to transport services to reduce emissions. Support Activities for
Transportation Industry has great effect on air pollution not just in the Philippines but
globally as well. It is an undisputable fact and companies are forced to comply with the
environment. At present, there are companies that have started implementing special projects
which helps them reduce pollutions and to be compliant with the national issued legislation.

Furthermore, based on the External and Internal Analyses, the factors shown in the
next page have been identified to be taken into account to construct a SWOT Matrix. See
Figure 1.6.
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
For every competitive environment over the past years, different companies have
become more sensitive in choosing a logistics provider to cater third-party services such as
transport services for their cargoes with the expectation that the services will be delivered
satisfactorily. These companies sought more than just a brand image or value of service, and
looked for value in a much wider sense. In Support Activities for Transportation Industry, a
continuous critical component of such value is service, and a key part of service value is
availability and speed. In other words, there is no value in the service being delivered by any
logistics company until it has reached the point of destination at the scheduled delivery time.
In line with this, XYZ Logistics concern towards clients feedback in order to deliver
a quality and excellent service beyond their expectations should always be one of the top
priorities to consider. However, for the past years in service (Years 2014 and 2015), the
companys Own Fleet Department was having difficulty in dealing with delayed cargo
transport. This occurrence is being supported by the tabulated information of the delayed
trips per month from year 2014 to early 2016 and is shown in the Appendix.
Own Fleet Department has company-owned trucks and is divided into more trucking
departments that cater to certain client each. Trucking 1 (TR1) is under this department. And
the only client that TR1 serves is one of the well known food corporations in the Philippines.

TR1 has 43 trucks and their average trips to the clients six warehouses per day is 57 covering the period April 2015 to
March 2016. During this period, there has been a significant occurrence of delayed shipments. Based on the initial investigation
conducted by the management of Own Fleet Department specifically the TR1, the causes of the delays in the transport services are
human errors like typographical error in encoding process of delivery information or simply negligence in gathering the shipping
details, and unforeseen reasons like traffic congestion and bad weather conditions.
The recorded total number of trips per month and the delayed cargo transport per month in Trucking 1 (TR1) for the service
period April 2015 to March 2016 are shown in Table 1.3 and Table 1.4.
These delayed trips per month are associated with the recorded time of departure from the port, and the expected and actual
time of arrival at the warehouse. With this information, number of minutes delayed is identified. The tabulated information of the
number of minutes delayed per month covering the study period is shown below.

These cargo transport delays were clearly associated with severe damage to XYZ
Logistics image, reputation, and client relationships. The said delays in the transport process
of the TR1 have contributed to the increasing operating expenses of the company. These
operating expenses include the logistics costs. Under logistics costs were the following
expenses.

As to the companys discretion, all the data gathered for the documentation of the
tabulated details of total number of actual trips per month, total number of delayed trips per
month and total number of minutes delayed per month are only from year 2014 to 2016. To
conduct the study and come up with the statement of the problem, the covered months are
only from October 2015 to March 2016. The time before and after the covered years would

Definition of Terms
A research conducted by Ganeshan and Harrison (1995) has defined Supply Chain
Management as a network of facilities and distribution options that performs the functions of
finished products, and the distribution of these finished products to the customers.
Logistics Definition
According to Lummus et al (2001), there are a ladder to link between logistics and
supply chain management. Whereas, both of the researchers, Srivastava and Srivastava
(2006) and Meade and Sarkis (2002) have agreed that the logistics is one of the toughest
challenges for the supply chain. As such, the challenge will start when producing the product
by the manufacturer and distribute the product to the user. In short, logistics is deeming to be
recognized as wide set of activities that contributes to the transformation and goods
circulations. Sample activities are material production supply, the core distribution and
transport function, wholesale and retail and also the provision of households with the
consumer goods that relates to the flow of the information (Handfield and Nichols, 1999).
supply chain process that plans, implements, and controls the efficient, effective forward and
reverse flow and storage of goods, services, and related information between the point of
Added to this, Johnson and Woods definition (cited in Tilanus, 1997) uses five
important key terms. These are the logistics, inbound logistics, materials management,
Logistics describes the entire process of materials and products moving into, through, and
out of firm. Inbound logistics covers the movement of material received from suppliers.
Materials management describes the movement of materials and components within a firm.
Physical distribution refers to the movement of goods outward from the end of the assembly
line to the customer. Finally, supply-chain management is somewhat larger than logistics, and
it links logistics more directly with the users total communications network and with the
firms engineering staff. The commonality of the recent definitions is that logistics is a
process of moving and handling goods and materials, from the beginning to the end of the
production, sale process and waste disposal, to satisfy customers and add business
competitiveness. It is the process of anticipating customer needs and wants; acquiring the
capital, materials, people, technologies, and information necessary to meet those needs and
wants; optimising the goods- or service-producing network to fulfil customer requests; and
utilizing the network to fulfil customer requests in a timely way (Tilanus, 1997). Simply to

multiple logistics services to a purchasing company. Third party logistics providers, although
they do not hold ownership of the product for distribution, are legally bound and responsible
to perform the requested logistics activities of the purchasing company. The relationship
between the two parties is long-term and beneficial. (Chrisoula Papadopoulou, 2001)
In a research done by Abd Aziz Bin Mat Hassan, Afni Binti Zaharudin, Anizah Binti
Mohd Yunus, they concluded that the logistics is the movement of the products involving the
services and information from the source point (supplier) to the end user.
On the other hand, Supply Chain Management is slightly a wider concept that
involves the processes in the logistics management that may be carried out within members
providers, clients and end users, with the intention to targeting the partnerships or strategic
alliances, in order to enable the intense information sharing and resources as such physical,
monetary and knowledge sharing. Thus, the researchers also concluded that nowadays, the
companies do not compete with other companies, but one supply chain competes with other
supply chains. So, the companies involved in a specific supply chain are managed as a single
In a simple definition, delay can be defined in an operation term as the time entities
You and Grossman (2008) have defined that the time delay of the supply chain can be
divided into two parts, 1) delivery lead time and 2) production lead time. The delivery lead
time is described as the time to transfer a product from distribution center to the end users,
while the production lead time is defined as the flow of time that the material takes to
transfer from supplier to the distribution center. Therefore, the delivery lead time is
equivalent to the transportation time from the distribution center to the customer. As for
production lead time, it is equivalent to the addition of all the delayed time gained by
transportation and production from the supplier to the distribution center. This explanation of
the time delay is also similar to the value stream mapping leaning tool (Voekel and
Chapman, 2003).
Technological Influence
under Support Activities for Transportation Industry (i.e. Logistics Company) in such a way
that there is service efficiency and cost advantage as well. With the rapid change in the
technology nowadays, there will come a time that every process in logistics services will be
automated. In a written article by Adam Robinson (March 2015), entitled as The State of
Third Party Logistics: The Future is Already Here, it has been pointed out that the transport
and delivery of goods may be hassle free by using technology such as GPS, Google Maps,
and Waze which can track locations. Logistics professionals said that this technological
advancement contributes to the improvement of services of logistics and supply chain in the
word. However, only large companies are capable of adapting in this advancement because
the small ones are still in need of more financial resources to upgrade their technologies.
Issues of Concern for Companies under Support Activities for Transportation Industry
Physical Environment
The group of physical distribution or also known as logistics is one of the hurdles
tasks facing by the company, as it needs a highly degree of synchronization among various
organizational units with different and sometimes conflicting objectives. The source of these
potential conflicts lies in the very nature of the prime objective of physical distribution
determining the best means of moving merchandise from the production unit to the consumer
(Richard, 1997). The physical environment of logistics and distribution comprises the
material space where any social and economic activity is embedded in, and also the hard
transport infrastructure that is necessary for the efficient operation of the system, like roads,
external determinant of the movement of vessels and vehicles. It thus can become decisive
Delays occur when a delivery process takes place later than scheduled. Delays are
mostly caused by three factors: road network congestion, production output and operational
routing plan can lead to inefficiencies in the transport routing process (Naim et al., 2006).
This can cause diversions due to unplanned congestion. Also, inadequate capacity of fleet can
operations, (Fowkes et al., 2004). This can have an adverse effect on the frequency and
ultimate on the length of delivery. Also, transport delays due to inefficiency at the shipper
and/or carrier can have a negative effect on the average load on laden trips (McKinnon and
Ge, 2004), since due to delays a potential full load in a single vehicle can become two half-
full vehicles. Delaying shipments until carriage in full truck loads can be a good idea in
reducing the costs for arranging the delivery and increasing efficiency for the logistics
service provider. Unfortunately, at the same time, this would lead to dropping in service
efficiency provided to shippers and addressee. Performance are not being measures alone, the
outstanding of effectiveness and efficiency services also reflect the performance of supply

competitiveness (IRMA, 2012). Furthermore, another source from Lau (2007) discussed
about the impacts of both shipment lead time and order lead time. Based on the discussion,
the general result is that the longer the lead is time, the smaller is the benefit of information
sharing.
According to Garin (2014), The delays in shipping affected the flow of delivery of
goods. What took 7 days to deliver became three weeks at the minimum. Moreover, OFW
packages, exports and imports of products were delayed as forwarding companies faced
problems regarding their contracts with shipping companies, resulting to loss of income for
all: the forwarding, shipping and trucking companies (Garin, 2014). She stated one of the

customers to wait. After many customers were left waiting in vain for on-time delivery of
Christmas presents, the United Parcel Service Incorporated issued a statement apologizing
for the hold-up and said it was working to resolve the problem (Subramanian, 2013).
While shipping delays can make a business owner feel helpless, that doesnt mean
you truly are. Many times, shipping delays can be avoided before your package goes out the
door. Understanding some of the common reasons shipments are delayed can help you make
sure it does not happen to you (Burg, 2012). Moreover, efficiency and communication can

According to the Road Haulage Association, the UKs trade association for the
haulage industry, the four major challenges facing the sector are fuel prices, road congestion,
vehicle security and efficient vehicle utilization. But as many haulage companies are
discovering, help is at hand with a modern GPS tracking system. In the search for increased
efficiency, Profile Handling began the search for a vehicle tracking system to efficiently route
drivers to their next job in order to fulfil same-day services, and also to save time by reducing
calls to drivers mobile phones. Accurate reporting was also important for verifying wait

In a study of Djankov et al. (2006), they find that each additional day that a product is
delayed prior to being shipped reduces trade by more than 1%. Moreover, each day is
equivalent to a country distancing itself from its trade partners by about 70 km on average.
This study determines how time delays on shipment affect international trade.
Synthesis
The articles including other conducted studies presented in this Chapter show similar
issues related to the area of study about the problem of transport delays in XYZ Logistics.
Transport delay is a problem in which the action of shipping of goods to the point of
destination did not arrive on time. It is clearly a frustration for clients when their cargoes do
not arrive on time. Some factors causing the transport delays include road network
and weather conditions. As part of minimizing the problem in general, efficiency and
communication can help decrease the number of transport delays. Also quickly managing the
Chapter III
In this chapter, the author has performed the objectives stated in this study. This study aims
to: (1) To assess the current cargo transport process (from receipt of booking order up to
completion of the pick-up and delivery service) of XYZ Logistics, (2) To identify the root
cause/s of the cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics and classify the preventable and
unpreventable factors causing the delay, and (3) To recommend solutions that will
eliminate/reduce the preventable factors causing the cargo transport delays. With reference
with these objectives, the author used Why-Why Analysis to identify the root causes of the
delay and the results are: (1) replacement of the assigned chassis, (2) no available driver or
late driver, (3) traffic congestion, (4) wrong data entry on Container Release Order, (5) low
qualifications for the delivery team (driver and pahinante), (6) complicated vehicle
checklist, and (7) bad weather condition. With each root cause, there is a set of contributing
factors to its existence. These contributing factors are then identified by the author whether
these factors are preventable or unpreventable. The preventable causes are used in order to
create action plans for them to be eliminated/reduced. With the knowledge of the existence of
these preventable causes, the author used How-How Analysis in order to create action plans
that will help the company eliminate/reduce such causes. The output of recommended action
plans to eliminate/reduce the specified preventable causes of the cargo transport delays in the
second phase of the methodology of this study are: (1) Road Hazard Mapping, (2) modified
Transport (Pick Up and Delivery) Process, (3) modified Job Qualifications for Drivers and
Helpers/pahinante, and (4) modified Daily Vehicle Inspection checklist. These
recommended solutions are mainly about the prevention of occurrence of cargo transport
delays and safety in transport process.
Introduction
XYZ Logistics is one of the third party logistics service providers in the Philippines.
Trucking 1 (TR1) Department, a specific section under Own Fleet Department, provides
logistics service to a specific big client of the company. TR1 has 43 company-owned trucks.
During the period of October 2015 to March 2016, the departments average number of daily
trips is 55. In these trips, there are reported cargo transport delays (See Appendix B for the
Department of XYZ Logistics has recorded an average of 49 delayed cargo reports equivalent
PHP1,279,683.00.
This study has been conducted in the course of a step-by-step method based on the
outlined objectives: (1) To assess the current cargo transport process (from receipt of booking
order up to completion of the pick-up and delivery service) of XYZ Logistics, (2) To identify
the root cause/s of the cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics and classify the preventable
and unpreventable factors causing the delay, and (3) To recommend solutions that will
eliminate/reduce the preventable factors causing the cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics.
Methodology
The methodology adopted for this study is made up of three phases which are the
following:
Phase III Elimination/Reduction of the preventable factors causing the cargo transport
delays
The courses of Input-Process-Output of the three stated objectives of this study are
shown in Figure 3.1, Figure 3.2, and Figure 3.3. These I-P-O courses/processes demonstrate
the outline of the methodology that is used in order to accomplish the study and to provide a
conclusion as well.
PHASE I Assessment of the current cargo transport process of XYZ Logistics
For the first objective which is to assess the current cargo transport process of XYZ
Logistics starting from the receipt of booking order up to the completion of the pick-up and
delivery service, the data needed is the documentation of the result of observation on the
companys Transport Procedure. This document is used to help the author identify a specific
part of the process that the problem may have occurred. The activities from receipt of
booking order up to the completion of pick-up and delivery service are described in details in
this document. The process used to arrive at the final output of the objective is the Process
Mapping. This process is used to define what is being done in each of the activity involved,
As shown in Figure 3.1, to be able to come up with the expected output in the studys
first objective, an interview with the authorized person assigned in TR1 Department of XYZ
The result of assessment of the process using process mapping in Phase I is used to
Furthermore, for the second objective which is to identify the root cause/s of the
cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics and classify the preventable and unpreventable
factors causing the delay, the data needed is the companys Delivery Monitoring Report. This
document is used to gather and analyze how the company monitors their delivery process.
With this, the expected time of arrival of the cargo to the client for every trip is recorded as
well as the actual time of its arrival thus, a proof if there is or there is no delay has been
provided. The process or EMG tool used for this studys second objective are the Paretio
Analysis and the Why-Why Analysis. These are used in order to identify the root cause/s of
the problem stated with verification methods. In line with these verification methods, Service
Quality Survey is conducted to validate one of the identified root causes of the cargo
transport delays.
In order to reach the second objectives output, the first objectives final output is
used as shown in Figure 3.2. Other than this, an interview with the same authorized personnel
is conducted and the companys report in delivery monitoring is provided. These inputs are
used to come up with a defined analysis using Why-Why Diagram. At the end of Phase II, the
final result of the second objective is the basis for the third objective.
PHASE III Elimination/Reduction of the preventable factors causing the cargo transport
delays
Lastly, for the third objective which is to recommend solutions that will
eliminate/reduce the preventable factors causing the cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics,
the process involved is the How-How Analysis. How-How Analysis is used to create action
preventable causes.
As shown in Figure 3.3, the requirement of the third objective of this study is to have
the final output of the second objective which is the Identified root cause/s of the reported
cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics and the classified preventable and unpreventable
causes of the cargo transport delays. With this, an interview with the same authorized person
is conducted in order to further explain and support the result of the analysis from the second
objective. The application of the needed inputs to How-How Analysis has resulted to an
improved cargo transport management in XYZ Logistics thus; the occurrence of the
TR1 Department has been conducted to describe the companys existing cargo transport
process. Along with the interview, a supporting document has been provided that shows the
process of their cargo transport. With the given information, the author constructed a detailed
map of the process involved from the receipt of booking order up to completion of the pick-
advice can be received thru phone, mobile and email. The booking will be formalized by
point and will assign this truck to the job. Booking information will be used to properly
The dispatcher acknowledges TABs receipt of booking and informs booking party of
the plate number, mobile number, and the drivers name assigned for the job. Delivery Report
Dispatcher will give pick-up instruction to delivery crew such as: (1) shippers name,
(2) contact person, (3) number of packages, weight, and dimensions, (4) estimated time of
cargo collection, (5) flight details (For Airfreight Cargoes), and (6) start of Delivery
Monitoring Report.
Upon booking of Ocean Freight, details will be provided if the container is only for
positioning, then they will re-book the shipment if already available for pick-up.
The condition of cargoes, seals, etc. will be checked. For irregularities, inform the
Dispatcher immediately. For problems regarding cargoes, secure a Bad Order (B.O.) Report.
Driver shall not accept loaded containers without security seals or with tampered security
seals.
To ensure smooth delivery, require receiver to properly sign Delivery Receipt. For
any irregularities on cargo, receiver shall put remarks on the Delivery Receipt.
Dispatcher will ask the driver for any additional charges such as: (1) bobtail, (2)
Driver will inform dispatcher on the following POD details: (1) person received the
cargo, and (2) date and time the cargo is received. Dispatcher will then inform BU of the
POD thru sms or email. Driver/Helper will turn over the properly accomplished Delivery
Receipts to Dispatcher. Dispatcher will turn over the DRs to Billing Team for billing
purposes. Billing Team will make necessary Internal Debit Note (IDN) for BUs. IDN
together with the signed Delivery Receipt and other related documents will be forwarded to
In general assessment, the current layout of the companys transport process does not
include booking confirmation or any steps that will double check the details of the
transaction.
With reference to the second objective of the study that is to identify the root cause/s
of the cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics and classify the preventable and
unpreventable factors causing the delay, the result of the first phase is used. To support this
information, the author has conducted an interview with the same interviewee from the first
phase. The provided Delivery Monitoring Report is used in order to track the cargo transport
happened during the period of October 2015 to March 2016. Table 3.2 below shows the
sample recorded delivery monitoring report (Please see Appendix B for more reference).
Based on the reports from October 2015 to March 2016, XYZ Logistics has recorded
a total number of 1,780 delayed trips out of 10,142 actual trips for Trucking 1 under Own
Fleet Department.
The author performed Pareto Analysis to identify the most frequent contributing
factors that cause the companys cargo transport delay. The analysis is based on the source of
Delivery Monitoring Reports recorded from October 2015 to March 2016 gathered by the
By using Pareto Analysis, the author found out the six most significant problem of
TR1 Department. It specified different delay details that helped the author to determine the
contributing factors causing the cargo transport delay that should be prioritized in order to
recommend action plans that will eliminate/reduce the preventable factors among them. In
view of this, the data provided and the results of the assessment from this studys first phase
and from the Pareto Analysis are used to create Why-Why Analysis. Figure 3.5 illustrates the
Why-Why Diagram that has been constructed based on the authors observation and analysis
thru the gathered data that served as evidence to the existence of the identified causes.

The Why-Why Diagram shown in Figure 3.5 was utilized for the identification of the
root causes of the identified problem. As the diagram portrays, the root causes of the problem
in XYZ Logistics are the following: (1) Replacement of assigned chassis, (2) No available or
late driver, (3) Traffic congestion, (4) Wrong data entry on Container Release Order, (5) Low

Verification Method
In order to verify these root causes, the author used a set of documents showing the
Delivery Monitoring Report that the pahinante of each truck is tasked to record in every
trip starting from the point of departure at the location of XYZ Logistics and back to the
companys premises, covering the pick-up (at the port) and delivery (at the clients
warehouse) process. Aside from the Delivery Monitoring Report, Truck In/Out Worklog is
used. With this set of documents, the author discussed it with the same authorized personnel
that she consulted with for the previous procedures of this study. This is to support the
Findings
Based on the results of the Why-Why Diagram, replacement of assigned chassis and
no available driver or late driver are two of the root causes of the problem of delay in cargo
transport in XYZ Logistics. It is under the main factor that cause the stated problem; that is
These root causes are indicated in the Delivery Monitoring Report submitted by the
delivery team at the end of every trip. These reports are the tangible proofs that the identified
causes exist in reality for the transport operation of XYZ Logistics (See Appendix B). For a
more comprehensive image, the author has recorded the following tabulated summary of the
As shown in Figure 3.7, for the operational period October 2016 to March 2016, the
company experienced delay due to late drivers and replacement of assigned chassis. And
based from the Pareto Analysis shown in Figure 3.4, these two are included in the six most
significant factors causing the cargo transport delay. These causes are particularly examined
by the author in the Delivery Monitoring Reports prepared by the pahinante and in Truck
With these findings, the author discussed with the interviewee the action plan that the
company performs at any time the incidents causing the delay in dispatching the assigned
truck. According to the interviewee, the company established the following in order to solve
the problem.
- The Delivery Monitoring Report serves as the daily basis of the Operations
delivery process are.This is where the pahinante records the departure time and
arival time of the whole delivery process (See Appendix C for the template).
- The Truck In/Out Worklog (See Appendix C for the template) of the company serves
as their copy to make it be harmony with the details stated and prepared by the
pahinante in the Delivery Monitoring Reports. This data record is being prepared
by the dispatcher to monitor the time of in and out of the trucks. With this, the
dispatcher is able to know the time of departure and arrival of the trucks which will
then figure out if the trucks are late or not in returning back to the companys
premises. This document is necessary in order to know the availability of the trucks,
the chassis, and the drivers for the next scheduled trips.
- In reference with the Delivery Monitoring Report and Trucks In/Out Worklog, the
(TR1) and aims to assess the common problems occurred during the month that result
to the delay in transporting the cargo containers. By assessing these problems, the
only action they do is they keep track of the delivery team, marks the trips delayed
and records the number of hours that they travel when there is a contributing factor
that causes the delay in deliveryof the cargo container to its destination.
Verification Method
In order to verify this root cause, the author has also used the Delivery Monitoring
Report that the pahinante of each truck is tasked to record in every trip starting from the
point of departure at the location of XYZ Logistics and back to the companys premises,
covering the pick-up (at the port) and delivery (at the clients warehouse) process. With this
set of documents, the author discussed it with the same authorized personnel that she
consulted with for the previous procedures of this study. This is to support the authors

Findings
Delay in cargo transport is also being affected by the contributing factor of delay in
the port area. Aside from the traffic congestion mentioned in the previous identified root
cause of the problem, the author has observed thru the gathered data from Delivery
Monitoring Reports recorded during the period October 2015 to March 2016 that the port
area delay is also due to incorrect documentation concerning container number on Cargo
Release Order (CRO) to be presented to the Customs authorized personnel at the port area.
The following figure shows the frequency of the occurrence of the contributing factors that
cause the cargo transport delay and it is indicated that wrong container number on CRO is
ranked as 4th most significant contributing factor. This is also supported by the interviewee
TR1s current action plan in this scenario is when it happens; the driver and/or the
pahinante shall report it promptly to the dispatcher thru phone. And by the time that the
dispatcher know the incident, he will go straight to the booking department and investigate it.
If the cargo details are already corrected, the dispatcher will then ask for referral slip that
shows that there was a mistake in data records given to the delivery team for pick-up
instructions. This referral slip will be sent thru e-mail to the assigned Customs personnel in
the port area that dispatches cargo containers. With this, the delivery team will be able to
pick-up the cargo container which will significantly affect the time of departure in the port
(5) Root Cause: Low qualifications for the delivery team (driver and pahinante)
Using the Incident Reports covering the period of April 2015 to March 2016 and
prepared by the Health, Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) Officers of XYZ
Logistics, a high number of incidents involving vehicle accidents and minor vehicle
problems is identified. In order to give support to the identified root cause by the author
using Why-Why Diagram shown in Figure 3.5, she conducted an interview with one of the
companys HSSE Officers and made use also of the Delivery Monitoring Reports.
Findings
From the data gathered using Delivery Monitoring Reports recorded during the period
October 2015 to March 2016, Figure 3.13 is created. It shows the number of times that the
contributing factors to the cargo transport delay has occurred. And with this, the author has
In line with this, the author has reviewed the Incident Reports recorded from October
2015 to March 2016. Table 3.3 shows the summary of the data records of 477 vehicular
accidents investigated and provided by HSSE Officers from the HSSE Department of XYZ
Logistics.

MANPOWER MACHINE MATERIAL METHOD ENVIRONMENT
As shown in Figure 3.14, the major factor that causes the occurrence of vehicular
accidents is the Manpower error. And with reference to the Why-Why Diagram shown in
Figure 3.5, incompetent delivery team (driver and pahinante) is a contributing factor of the
occurrence of vehicular accidents whereas this factor is one of the major issues under the
Manpower aspect shown in Figure 3.14. These findings, as said in the previous discussion,
are based on the Incident Reports prepared and investigated by the HSSE Officer assigned in
the examination of the incident occurred. The following circumstances are some of the
results of their investigation in each of the incidents reported concerning manpower errors.
- Unawareness to surroundings
has resulted to the conclusion that the company has low qualifications for the jobs of a truck
driver and a pahinante which is being supported by the fact that the major cause of its
certainty is the vehicular accidents due to error of their manpower reported thru Incident
Reports prepared and investigated by the HSSE Officers assigned to examine the incidents.
With the knowledge that the company has problems with the qualifications for their delivery
team, these officers are tasked to create immediate actions. In view of this, the companys
current requirements for job hiring concerning truck drivers and pahinantes are shown in
Table 3.4.

As to the provided trainings for them that serve as manpower maintenance, the
company conducts skills training for drivers once in every 6 months. This training is called
Defensive Driving Course (DDC) Training. It is 8-hour training about driving and different
speakers are being invited. With regards to the health and safety of the drivers, the Health,
Safety, Security, and Environment (HSSE) Department conducts random drug test from time
to time because drug-related act is one of the contributing factors that causes the inability of
Verification Method
Same with the verification method of the 5th identified root cause of the problem,
Incident Reports prepared by the HSSE Officers of the company are particularly checked.
Added to this, the author collected details from 30 random truck drivers of the company by
using survey questions in order to support the identified root cause from the Why-Why
Analysis.
Findings
Based on the results of the analysis for the 5 th root cause, the contributing factors that
cause the vehicular accidents are mainly due to manpower error that is shown in Figure 3.14.
One of these is the usual scenario that the drivers are not aware of the condition of the
vehicle parts which leads to accident. In line with this, there is a significant number of
reported incidents that happened only because of the malfunction of some vehicle parts that
the assigned driver is tasked to check before leaving the companys premises and proceed
By conducting the interview with a HSSE Officer, the author has arrived with the
recognized information that the main reason of these incidents concerning malfunctioned
vehicle parts is that their drivers are not following the Standard Operating Procedure in
relation to the companys provided Daily Vehicle Inspection checklist shown in Figure 3.16.
FIGURE 3.23: EXISTING DAILY VEHICLE INSPECTION CHECKLIST
And with this, the author performed survey procedure concerning 30 random
company drivers from TR1 Department. These 30 drivers are picked randomly and asked to
answer the survey questions that the author has prepared. Figure 3.17 shows the survey form.
noncompliance with the Standard Operating Procedure concerning the inspection of the
trucks thru Daily Vehicle Inspection checklist before leaving the companys premises. Based
on the results, out of 30 respondents, 21 of them are experiencing difficulty in inspecting the
vehicle and answering the checklist aside from the reason that the checklist is not visually
appealing making it more difficult to answer in reference with some of their personal
comments attached in the survey forms. The following table shows the summary of the
As shown in Table 3.5, statement 4 which pertains to the physical appearance of the
materials being used in inspection of trucks (such as Daily Vehicle Inspection checklist)
before leaving the companys premises has obtained the highest negative result. This means
that there is really a problem with this Standard Operating Procedure in TR1 that the
company has implemented. The author has only considered statement 4 simply because it
involves the drivers noncompliance with the companys policy in terms of vehicle inspection
that is necessary in order to prevent serious accidents that may lead to damage to cargo and
Bad weather
Vehicular accidents condition
Verification Method
In verifying the accuracy of existence of bad weather condition as one of the root
causes of the identified problem, the same documents that are particularly checked by the
author in the 5th and 6th root causes are used. Along with this set of documents of Incident
Reports, the author has verified it with the same HSSE Officer that she consulted with in the
previous discussion.
Findings
By examining all the Incident Reports happened during the period of October 2015 to
March 2016, the author has identified the number of vehicular accidents occurred. Based on
the results, vehicular accidents are happening also because of bad weather conditions. The
following table shows the summary of the reported vehicular accidents due to bad weather
condition.
Concerning the unforeseen situation such as bad weather condition, the author has
observed that the company does not have a formal action plan for this. The company
personnel are only dependent on the weather forecast that is being reported thru televisions,
radio, and online news. They do not have a system that particularly checks the daily weather
condition to make scheduled trips be ready just in case the severity of the bad weather
condition increases.
This study also aims to classify the result of the Why-Why Diagram shown in Figure
3.5 whether the identified contributing factors to the delay are preventable or unpreventable.
By classifying them, the studys objective 3 will be reached; that is to recommend action
Preventable causes or internal aspects that cause the delay are defined to be the
factors that contribute to the occurrence of the problem which can be prevented.

PHASE III Elimination/Reduction of the preventable causes of the cargo transport delays
The third and the last phase of this study aims to recommend solutions that will
eliminate/reduce the preventable factors causing the cargo transport delays at XYZ Logistics.
The process involved is the How-How Analysis. As mentioned on the previous part of this
chapter, How-How Analysis is used in order to create action plan that will help
eliminate/reduce the occurrence of the problem of delay in cargo transport. Figure 3.21

1. Root Causes: Replacement of the assigned chassis and no available driver or late driver
With the knowledge about the replacement of the assigned chassis and no available
driver or late driver that is due to the late return of the previous scheduled trips as one of the
root causes of the stated problem, the author has formed necessary action plans such as
increasing the leadtime for cargo transport process and creating Road Hazard Mapping
(template is shown in Figure 3.22) which will serve as the delivery teams guide to be
familiarized with the area that they will traverse during the transport process, for example,
By doing this method, the total number of travel time in hours and distance in
kilometers from point X to point Y will be indicated in the report form. In this way, the
delivery team will be able to provide adjustments in times of problem with the delay or other
The author created a template that can be easily understood by the delivery team.
With this, the company will have to require the delivery team especially the truck driver to
study the final output of each Road Hazard Mapping report prepared by the HSSE
Department as soon as it is done. In this way, safety and delay prevention may be addressed
resulting to the on-time arrival of the delivery team back in the premises of XYZ Logistics
thus, resulting to the availability of the resources for the next scheduled trips.
As to its execution, Road Hazard Mapping will be done by a HSSE Officer every 3
months. The trips that they will have to consider the most are the trips from Manila Port to
Pasig (WH1), Bulacan (WH2), Cavite (WH3), Pampanga (WH4), Alabang (WH5), and
Laguna (WH6).
The following figure shows an example of a Road Hazard Mapping with a route from
required entry permits to be submitted upon entering the port to release the cargo container,
the author has added clarification steps and confirmation steps to not just track the documents
but also to review them and see if there is an occurrence of incident concerning transposition
type of error in data entry. By doing this, a need for standard data file will have to be created
where basic cargo details are being recorded. As mentioned in the previous discussion, the
needed documents that the delivery team must have with them upon entering the port are the
following: (1) Customs entry, (2) Bill of Lading, (3) Invoice, (4) Packing list, (5) Other
import permits, (6) Gate pass, and last but not the least (7) CRO (Container Release Order).
These are the documents that need to be thoroughly checked and confirmed first before
handing over to the delivery team to prevent documents trouble at the port, thus preventing
also the delay in time of staying at the port. The following figures show the comparison of
Current Proposed
Table 3.8 and Table 3.9 show the complete details of the enhanced qualifications for
The current qualification for the driver in terms of working experience related to the
same job title is with at least one year working experience. Based on the study conducted by
the author about the average number of years of experience in driving trailer trucks in most
of the third party logistics service providers, there is a requirement for the applicants for the
driver position that at least about 2 years of relevant experience should be in his working
career.
In general, XYZ Logistics aims to have drivers who can deliver cargo on time,
undamaged and without acquiring citations or having accidents. In line with this, the drivers
are expected to be safety conscious at all times. Before starting a trip and at intervals
throughout, drivers must inspect the assigned trucks to them to make sure they can carry the
cargo safely. This is in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedure concerning the
Daily Vehicle Checklist that the company already has. They must obey all traffic laws and
that includes knowing which roads are closed to truck traffic. Truckers must be good drivers,
constantly assessing the traffic around them and road conditions, then making any necessary
adjustments. They need quick reflexes, normal vision, good coordination and adequate
hearing. Drivers who can make minor mechanical repairs en route to their destinations should
be preferred.
Furthermore, most truck drivers spend a great deal of time away from home and their
families. At times, they must drive in congested traffic or during inclement weather. They are
typically on a timetable. All of these factors can generate stress, so they need the ability to
cope with life on the road. The drivers also need self-control when dealing with dangerous
drivers. Defensive Driving Course training will help them gain knowledge more about
driving. This training is given by XYZ Logistic that their drivers must comply with. Much of
their time is spent alone, so drivers need to be able to function independently. Mechanical
problems, road closings or delivery changes can require a driver to adapt to alterations in
In order to modify the companys existing Daily Vehicle Inspection checklist, the
author has first conducted a survey having 30 random company drivers. With this survey, it
has been found out that the drivers are not following the SOP simply because the existing
checklist is complicated and that based on their personal comments, it is not visually
appealing or does not have a good layout that will add to the drivers convenience. The
And based on the results of the conducted survey and walkthrough audit, the author
has arrived at the proposed Daily Vehicle Inspection checklist shown in Figure 3.25.
FIGURE 3.32: PROPOSED NEW DAILY VEHICLE INSPECTION CHECKLIST
With this proposed new checklist, an improvement in the existing checklists layout is
done and non-value parts for inspection that are indicated in it are removed. In this way, the
time and compliance with the SOP of the delivery team will significantly change. This is in
such a way that their time for vehicle inspection will be shortened and they will be compliant
Using Why-Why Analysis, the identified root causesof the cargo transport delays that
exist in the company are the following: (1) replacement of the assigned chassis, (2) no
available driver or late driver, (3) traffic congestion, (4) wrong data entry on Container
Release Order, (5) low qualifications for the delivery team (driver and pahinante), (6)
complicated vehicle checklist, and (7) bad weather condition. With each root cause, there
is a set of contributing factors to its existence. These contributing factors are then
identified by the author whether these factors are preventable or unpreventable. The
preventable causes are used in order to create action plans for them to be
eliminated/reduced. This step is done in the last phase of the methodology of this study.
causes of the cargo transport delays in the second phase of the methodology of this study
are the following: (1) Road Hazard Mapping, (2) modified Transport (Pick Up and
Delivery) Process, (3) modified Job Qualifications for Drivers and Helpers/pahinante,
and (4) modified Daily Vehicle Inspection checklist. These recommended solutions are
mainly about the prevention of occurrence of cargo transport delays and safety in
transport process.
Chapter IV
CONCLUSION
expected that a concern towards clients feedback about the reliability of the service delivery
should be the companys focal point in order to deliver a quality and excellent service beyond
their expectations. However, for the past years in service (Years 2014 and 2015), the
companys Own Fleet Department (OFD) was having difficulty in dealing with delayed cargo
transport.
For a 6-month operational period (October 2015 to March 2016), Trucking 1 (TR1)
Department of XYZ Logistics has recorded a monthly average of 49 delayed cargo reports
cost of PHP1,279,683.00.
By studying the occurrence of the problem stated, the author aims to: (1) assess the
current cargo transport process (from receipt of booking order up to completion of the pick-
up and delivery service) of XYZ Logistics, (2) identify the root cause/s of the cargo transport
delays at XYZ Logistics and classify the preventable and unpreventable factors causing the
delay, and (3) recommend solutions that will eliminate/reduce the preventable factors causing
With reference to the first objective of this study, the author used process mapping in
order to assess the current transport process of the company. And by doing so, the author has
found out that the current transport process of XYZ Logistics does not have any confirmation
for the booking transactions. These findings have contributed to the identification of the
contributing factors that cause the occurrence of the delay in cargo transport that the
As to the execution of the second objective, Why-Why Analysis is used. The author
has first identified three major aspects of where the stated problem may have occurred. These
major aspects are the delay in dispatching the assigned trucks, delay in port area, and
vehicular accidents. By analyzing these situations and providing supporting documents, the
author has arrived to the following root causes of the problem: (1) replacement of the
assigned chassis, (2) no available driver or late driver, (3) traffic congestion, (4) wrong data
entry on Container Release Order, (5) low qualifications for the delivery team (driver and
pahinante), (6) complicated vehicle checklist, and (7) bad weather condition.
With each root cause, there is a set of contributing factors to its existence. These
contributing factors are then identified by the author whether these factors are preventable or
unpreventable. The preventable causes are used in order to create action plans for them to be
eliminate/reduce the specified preventable causes of the cargo transport delays as this studys
third and last objective are the following: (1) Road Hazard Mapping, (2) modified Transport
(Pick Up and Delivery) Process, (3) modified Job Qualifications for Drivers and
recommended solutions are mainly about the prevention of occurrence of cargo transport
RECOMMENDATION
The results of this study were limited to the identification of the external and internal
factors causing delays in cargo transport. The external factor includes port area delay and
unforeseen incidents such as road accidents due to bad weather conditions. On the other side,
internal factor includes the manpower error in the companys transport process. Therefore, it
is recommended to consider other factors like for example, the impact of limited resources to
The tools used in this study are not sufficient in order to make further research about
the problem stated; that is the cargo transport delays. In view of this, it is highly
recommended by the author to add more technical tools. This study may serve as a basis for
studies related in the Support Activities for Transportation Industry or in Transport and
analyzing other data sources that can identify failure points or the contributing factors in the
delay which affect the cargo transport process. They can study other operational activities in
the company like the procurement of resources and client acceptance and review which may
