WITHOFS
SAFETY DAY |
Every
year Withofs Transport organizes a Safety
Day. All our drivers and sub-contractors are
invited to participate in this event. Our
goal is to decrease the number of accidents and
breakdowns by training and communication. This year our
Safety Day was held on the 23rd of June.
 Integrated Quality
Control
Our
first speaker was Didier
Dimbiermont,
Key Account Manager at Withofs Transport. He
gave a survey of the complaints we received from our
clients during the past year. The
goal of this meeting is to make our drivers aware of
what went wrong and how to act in the right way if this
situation may occur in the future. In the long term we
are convinced that this will contribute to a decrease of
the number of complaints and to an increase of our
customer satisfaction.
 Risk Management
Our
second speaker was Bruno
Nijs,
Risk Manager at
TVM insurances. He gave a summary about
the traffic
accidents caused by Withofs during the
last four
years. Our dammage percentage is
decreasing every
year and it is below the average percentage
of our
sector.
Bruno
also explained what to do if you get an accident in
Germany.
The law in Germany
is different as the Belgian law, and this can cause a
problem in case of an accident
 The Look-ahead
Mirror
Our
last speaker was Gaston
Bruggen,
BBS-trainer at Withofs Transport. He made our drivers
aware of the advantages of a well focused mirror and the
danger of the death angle in the mirror. He also
explained the new Look-ahead mirror.
The
advantage of this mirror is that you can see if
someone
stands before your truck. This is not possible
with
the other type of mirrors. Since the beginning of this
year
all our new trucks are equipped with this
mirror. |

E-STOCK
CONTROL |
As
we have a good experience with just-in-time deliveries
and stock control at the unloading places, we have
decided to coöperate with one of our main customers
to implement the ORBITÒ-
system. This means we have the consumptions
and the stock levels at the unloading site.
Together with the supplier we decide when to
deliver. Some of the  advantages are :
In
fact this system is comparable with another system we
have in use where we get the consumptions and stock
levels each hour by automated SMS.
