Produktivitäts- und Kapazitätsverluste durch manuelle Anwesenheitserfassung

Definition

Waste management telematics solutions marketed in Australia emphasise replacing ‘scrappy paper maps, run sheets, pre‑start notepads… two way radio calls between office & drivers’ with integrated GPS, driver terminals and scheduling.[2] These tools provide live status of which drivers are logged in, where trucks are located and which jobs are completed, enabling more efficient dispatch and route planning.[2][5][6] Without such automation, supervisors spend considerable time chasing drivers, reconciling attendance and updating run sheets at the start and during each shift. For a mid‑size depot, if dispatchers and supervisors collectively spend 15–30 minutes per driver per day on manual attendance verification, sign‑ons and adjustments, and only a fraction is eliminated by automation, the corresponding lost driver capacity is significant. Logic estimation: assuming 40 drivers, 15 minutes of avoidable delay per driver per day equates to 10 driver‑hours lost per day, or roughly 2,500 hours per year (5 days/week, 50 weeks). At a fully‑loaded driver cost of AUD 45/hour, this is around AUD 112,500 of lost productive capacity annually.

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Australian waste operators lose 5–10% of available driver capacity to manual sign‑on, paper run sheets and ad‑hoc dispatch. Automating time and attendance via GPS, driver RFID and in‑cab devices can recapture thousands of productive driver hours per year.
