14. Extra tools Functionality: Additional Costs Process
Background.
Land Logistic dep.:“The current process includes many manual steps gathering the details
of extra costs, approvals and recording details before it can be uploaded to GSAP.”
Elemica offers an additional functionality (tool) for automating the additional cost process
16. Process Steps new additional cost process
16
- Haulier has additional cost and reports this to the Shipment doc. in SmartLink
- CRC / TC Receive an e-mail with additional Cost from Haulier
- Login to SmartLink via link in e-mail
- Accept or Reject add. Cost on shipment
- Haulier receives notification e-mail
- End of the month; TC down loads Add Costs Report from Elemica and
upload this in GSAP. All cost will be assigned to shipments.
17. Extra tools Functionality: Implementation Additional Costs Process
Benefits of the Elemica’s additional cost tool:
— Shell:
— Less manual work for the Transport Coordinator to prepare and upload
additional cost into GSAP (saving up to 4 days a month)
— Always the correct data and order
— Less admin; Reporting overview per Haulier, Ship-from and Ship-To
— No more “open” items
—Haulier:
— Less admin; It takes less time for the haulier to enter the additional costs
— Clear and structured process
— Reporting facilities on approved cost
— No more custom made additional cost notification file
19. Implementation Time Slot Booking Tool (TSB)
Background
The on-site logistic costs and processes at Pernis were perceived not to be cost
competitive anymore. A project was initiated to lowering the costs of road site
logistics by:
—Optimize business processes:
—Optimize the use of loading facilities and available loading crew by
spreading the workload.
—Better insight in load restrictions in advance (maintenance outage, high
demand)
—Decrease the average on-site time of trucks:
—Large number of trucks arrive in the same timeframe (‘preferred time of
arrival’).

21. What is Time Slot Booking Tool ?
“Time slot booking” is a monitoring tool which enables the loading site to
evenly spread the arrival of trucks.
With this process carriers/customers are required to book in advance a
time slot for loading, preferably by electronic means.

25. Project information
Background
The introduction of Elemica’s Slotbooking tool at the Traffic Office of Pernis in 2009 lead
to a significant reduction of workload, now after 3 years of experience on working with
the Slot Booking tool a further improvement of the loading facilities can be made.
Scope
Improvement of the efficiency and effectiveness of the loading facilities (N- and D terrain)
at Pernis through the implementation of Elemica’s Time Slot Optimization tool (TSO)
Benefits
— Significant reduce the amount of working hours spent at the Traffic Office on slot
bookings
— Significant increase of available loading hours on the loading facilities
26. Shell’s enhancement requirements
Carriers will be able to book slots themselves:
— For stock transfer shipments
— For combination loads
Increase the availability of loading slots by:
— Preventing that two slots for one product are booked at the same time
— The ability to block slots on product level and on loading bay.
— The possibility to book load slots for night loading
— Preventing hauliers leaving a gap 30 minutes open between two slot bookings
— More flexibility in scheduling loading time depended on amount of loading
— the tool should come up with a proposal for the best loading opportunity
Increased calendar functionality:
— Showing the status of a truck, i.e. “on-site”, “loaded” or “departed”.
— The ability to block certain hours (e.g. lunch hours) in the agenda over a longer
period instead of per day.
27. Timing
Timing
— Phase 1: Orientation phase (March 2012)
— Phase 2: Sponsor Sign off phase (April 2012)
— Phase 3: Detail development / configuration inventory (May 2012)
— Phase 4: Development phase (June – December 2012)
— Phase 5: Testing & Implementation phase (March 2013 – April 2013)
— Phase 6: Go live May 2013
28. Solution Implementation Approach
Preparing Implantation TSO:
— Workshop (Elemica, Traffic Office and SCE)
—Risk analysis & Mitigation:
— Definition major risks TSO implementation:
— Risk Matrix
— Corrective actions
—Define (Test) scenarios:
— Gap analysis between SB and TSO
— Scripts
— Rules for Go / no Go decision implementation
—Training
— Documentation
— Communication
— Detail planning Migration process

31. Lessons Learned & Recommendations
Be (very) clear in the Scope of your project for all stakeholders
Participation of end-user during the whole project
Manage expectations of users (it’s not Turn key)
For a smooth transfer (SB > TSO), be sure to have:
— Inventory of the risk and likelihood
— a Roll-back scenario in place
— enough resources in place
Making sure Elemica’s understands the end-to-end situation
Having enough time for testing
