تجاوز التكاليف من معالجة الأبعاد اليدوية والتحقق (Cost Overrun - Manual Dimensional Reconciliation Labor)
Definition
Current-state process: Staff receive package dimensions (often hand-written or OCR-scanned), re-enter into billing system, manually apply DIM formula per carrier rules, compare against actual weight, flag exceptions, create manual billing corrections. No workflow automation. Emiratisation quota compliance (Nafis) mandates UAE nationals fill 50-70% of roles, increasing supervision overhead for manual dimensional workflows.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AED 14,400 - AED 48,000 annually (40-80 hours/month at AED 30-50/hour labor cost; typical mid-market operator)
- Frequency: Monthly (recurring labor cycle per shipment batch)
- Root Cause: Disconnected billing systems (TMS, invoice system, ERP) lack automated dimensional weight calculation; manual data entry between systems; no exception-based workflow for DIM recalculations; paper-based or PDF dimension records
