Abstract

Most of the production industries in the world are still not using the advanced truck loading software to optimize the truck. Optimum loading of goods in a truck has been a huge drawback for many firms. Truck Optimization can be done either by manually or by the use of software. CargoWiz truck loading software is used to optimize the truck. The boxes that can be loaded in excess by using CargoWiz have to be analysed and the benefits of using software for loading the truck was explained in a brief. In future the software with better algorithm will be developed to optimize the truck effectively. A dairy firm case has been taken in this study and load plan was created using CargoWiz. Then the CargoWiz solution is checked with the real time loading condition to find whether more boxes can be loaded or not.
