Logistics readiness checklistDispatch
Section one

The board

The dispatcher has one screen showing where every job stands
Job status changes without anyone making a phone call
A driver check in is a record, not a message in a group
Delivery confirmation exists after the driver has gone home
Route or assignment history can be looked at later
Section two

Customers

Where is my shipment can be answered from a screen
The customer can be told before they ask
Complaints are recorded against the job, not in an inbox
Nobody re enters the same job into a second system

Section three

Stock and cash

Stock levels are known without a phone call to the warehouse
The daily ledger is not a notebook
Month end does not involve reconstructing from bank statements
Section four

People

The dispatcher could take two weeks off
The process is written down somewhere other than a person's head
One named person owns each process
A new hire could run a day without being coached through it
