Our suppliers from 8 o'clock in the morning to about 11 o'clock...
...send their orders through once they've received their requirements from their customers.
They send that through to us in pallet form.
So we know how many pallets are being delivered to each location for them,...
...and when the product is available.
Our planners will then enter that into our transport management system,...
...and they will build the trunks,...
...which is a term we use for collecting from a supplier's site into our hub at Newmarket.
We'll build the trunks and allocate resource to cover off those trunks...
...to ensure that we have got the right drivers in the right place...
...to pick the product up from the supplier on time.
We will then build the loads to go out to the RDCs...
...according on temperature window and the time the product is available.
Build those loads optimising to get as good a load fill as we possibly can,...
...and then that will take us until about 1 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon...
...and then we will start allocating resource to make those final deliveries,...
...looking to get subcontractors if we haven't got enough of our own resource.
Speak to other Turners depots who work within the temperature control network...
...to ensure, to see what trucks they have in different locations to cover loads off.
And equally look for more work if the orders, once we have got them all in, are quiet...
...and we've got spare resource.
We will then look within the operation and within the networks of Turners...
...to see if there is any other work that we can cover off ourselves.
That will take us until probably 5 or 6 o'clock in the evening,...
...and then we send communications to all the suppliers...
...confirming what we are planning to do with their pallets.
So they know what to load on what truck,...
...what registration, what driver will collect those pallets.
