DELIVERY QUEUE & BACKLOG PREDICTION

On high-volume days, queues, screening bottlenecks and bay congestion form with no advance warning, so extra staff and lanes are scrambled too late. The backlog is managed reactively.

Actors

  • Logistics Coordinator
  • Control Room Operator
  • Security Operations Manager

Systems / Vendors

  • Delivery booking (Fulcrum)
  • ANPR
  • Loading-bay / yard system

Business Question

"On a heavy day, why do we only add lanes and screeners once the queue's already out the gate?"

What SPoG Does

  • Forecasts queue length, screening bottlenecks and bay congestion.
  • Recommends the extra staff or lanes needed ahead of time.
  • Adjusts live as volumes move.
