This document discusses reducing truck turnaround time (TTAT) at a manufacturing facility. It identifies several areas that contribute to delays in TTAT, including loading processes, excise formalities, and material handling issues. While delays due to excise formalities are non-controllable, the document concludes that reductions can be made in loading times by addressing controllable factors such as queue times, priority given to export containers, and manual weighing and packing processes.

ConclusionDelay in TTAT due to Excise formalities is very highExcise formality are non controllable hence cannot be reducedDelay in TTAT due to Loading Process is significantly highSeveral factors in Loading Process are controllable, hence will have to reduce the time of loading related activities
