This document summarizes an internship project report on implementing barcode technology at a logistics company. The objectives were to replace manual processes with barcode scanning technology, train employees on its use, and evaluate performance benefits. The project scope covered loading, unloading, tracking shipments. Challenges included negative attitudes, technology issues. Analysis found scanning reduced unloading time. Recommendations included improving stickers, connectivity, training, and motivating employees to use scanners.

SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROJECT REPORT
NAME RAVIKUMAR PAWAR
INSTITUTE BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT & TECHNOLOGY
PROJECT TITLE BARCODE IMPLEMENTATION
START DATE OF THE PROJECT - 6TH MARCH, 2016.
2. THINK BIG GROW BIG
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
CREATING AWARENESS OF BARCODE TECHNOLOGY.
REPLACING MANUAL PROCESS WITH TECHNOLOGY.
TRAIN OAS FOR SUCCESSFUL USE OF SCANNERS FOR UNLOADING.
MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND THE BENEFITS OF TECHNOLOGY OVER
MANUAL PROCESS.
3. THINK BIG GROW BIG
PROJECT SCOPE
PROJECT COVERS LOADING UNLOADING OF TRANSSHIPMENT AND
BOOKING WITH DELIVERY.
WILL HELP IN PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF OAS.
MORE ACCURATE TRACKING.
CAN BE EXTEND TO THE WMS.
4. THINK BIG GROW BIG
ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITATIONS
LIMITATIONS ARE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY PROBLEMS IN HUBS.
NEGATIVE MINDSET OF OAS AND LABORS.
VERY LITTLE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT COMPUTER AND ANDROID.
LACK OF INTEREST OF EMPLOYEES TO USE SCANNER.
5. THINK BIG GROW BIG
ASSUMPTIONS & LIMITATIONS CONTINUED
ASSUMPTION ABOUT ALL PRINTED STICKERS.
PROCESS ISSUES FOR USING SCANNER.
UNFULFILLED REQUIREMENTS AT BOOKING SIDE.
ASSUMPTION THAT SCANNER WILL ALWAYS SAVE SAVE THE TIME.
6. THINK BIG GROW BIG
APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
METHOD USED FOR PERFORMANCE EVALUATION IS PAIRED T-TEST.
ASSIGNED WEIGHTAGE TO NO. OF WAYBILLS.
FORMULA FOR CALCULATING SCORE.
SCORE = (NO. OF PACKETS / UNLOADING TIME)*WEIGHTAGE OF WAYBILL.
USED SPSS TO CHECK HYPOTHESIS.
7. THINK BIG GROW BIG
INPUTS FROM THE REVIEW SESSIONS AND
ACTIONS INITIATED
STARTED CALLING BOOKING ASSOCIATES FOR PRINTED STICKERS.
STARTED TO TRAIN EACH AND EVERY OA.
OBJECTIVE SHIFTED FROM MAXIMUM VEHICLES TO MAXIMUM OAS.
START RECORDING THE NAME OF OA WITH UNLOADING DETAILS.

INPUTS & OBSERVATIONS
OBSERVATIONS
MAXIMUM VEHICLES HAVING MIX STICKERS.
REASON MULTI-CONSIGNERS
STICKERS WERE NOT PASTED AS PER STANDARDS.
OAS WERE EXCITED TO USE THE SCANNERS.
NEGATIVE WORD OF MOUTH BY LABOURS.
PALATE ISSUE.
TECHNOLOGICAL BARRIERS WHILE DEMONSTRATION.
16. THINK BIG GROW BIG
INPUTS & OBSERVATIONS
INPUTS
SCANNER SHOULD DISPLAY SHORT PACKETS NUMBER.
SELECT ALL WAYBILLS OPTION SHOULD BE THERE WHILE UPDATING IN SCANNER.
SHORT EXCESS REPORT SHOULD BE MAILED TO RESPECTIVE BOOKING BRANCH
AFTER UPDATING.
DESTINATION GATEWAY NAME SHOULD EITHER BE ON STICKER OR IN SCANNER.
ONCE OA ASSIGNED A TALLY, HIS NAME SHOULDNT BE THERE UNTIL FIRST
ASSIGNED TALLY GETS UPDATED.
17. THINK BIG GROW BIG
INPUTS & OBSERVATIONS
INPUTS
LIST OF WAYBILLS AND SCANNED PACKETS SHOULD BE ONLY ONE CLICK
AWAY FROM SCANNING SCREEN AND NOT AT THE END

RECOMMENDATIONS
NEED TO WORK ON STICKERS.
THERE SHOULD BE REVIEW MEETINGS TO CHECK SCANNERS ARE USED
OR NOT.
BOOKING ASSOCIATES AND ALL HUBS SHOULD BE ENABLED WITH HIGH-
SPEED CONNECTIVITY TO PROPEL.
OAS NEED TO MOTIVATE TO USE SCANNERS.
NEED TO PROVIDE MORE SCANNERS IN HUBS WHERE SCANNING STARTED
AT OPTIMUM LEVEL.
