In cities like Singapore where services are required in dense, built-up areas, GPS tracking may not be good enough. There could be visits to different units on the same block that will not be picked up using GPS.
GPS tracking is know to give location visibility, and by extension, how long one stays at a location. Duration of stay at a location, or what I call staytime, is very important. It allows planner to schedule work better to maximize resources.
How do we get staytime data for dense, city services. Well, one say it to have arrival and departure forms to fill. This will allow staytimes, and the associated latitude and longitude location to be captured for useful analysis.
This blog covers new pull supply chain responsiveness and logistics concepts for hubs with good air and sea-freight connectivity like Singapore. Big data and web analytics are creating new demand opportunities, and help operations meet growing global regulatory standards. Very often, my work also involves helping online retailers improve operations. Discussions spans from raw materials serialization, to manufacturing, marketing and sales. Visualization and analysis techniques are also shared.
