The study has aimed to determine the effects of logistics in the system of transportation
under SSB & CO. LTD Tanzania specifically at MZIZIMA FLOUR MILL.The study
specifically: assess how scheduling may affect effective and efficient logistics in
transport system; to identify major costs involved during the implementation of logistics
in transportation, to assess awareness of the procedures especially if department users
involved in the preparation of Logistics, also to assess if the logistics available enough
to satisfy the needed requirements of the organization and challenges facing during the
implementation of logistics.
A cross sectional research design was adopted; sample sizes of 70 respondents were
obtained through purposive and non-purposive sampling techniques. The study used
both quantitative and qualitative methods approaches. Statistical Package of Social
Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft Excel (Ms Excel) were used to analyze data. Data
revealed that the inbound logistics of SSB & Co.ltd manages strongly sourcing of raw
material inputs (wheat), materials in preparation and during the assembly process are
stored in Silos. Also Outbound Logistics is perfect since that the transportation of
manufactured goods to the point of sale is effective because there are competent drivers
with verified certificates, there is effective fleet and the availability of GPS system
which helps transportation of materials and goods to be effective and efficient.
The study also revealed that staff training has positive result on effective logistics such
as the increase of logistics performance. Also training will equip them with knowledge
that can nurture their work performance and in turn increase productivity.
The study recommends that SSB should work with local farmers (wheat producers) by
either providing them with farm implements or buying the crops while at the farm,
employ agriculture extension field officers who can attend the wheat farm to ensure
quality of harvest, in its totality it can reduce importation costs. The company has to
invest more on mechanization so as to have more of machine interphase than human to
reduce cost of salaries and wages and increase work done per specified time period. |
