Background of the Study
Efficient logistics operations are vital for the success of freight companies, particularly in industries such as cement and manufacturing, where timely delivery of goods is critical. Dangote Group, a major conglomerate in Nigeria, relies heavily on its logistics network for transporting goods across the country. However, traditional logistics management methods often lead to inefficiencies, including delayed deliveries, increased operational costs, and underutilization of resources.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers innovative solutions to enhance logistics efficiency in freight operations. By integrating AI tools such as route optimization algorithms, predictive maintenance systems, and real-time tracking, businesses can streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve delivery performance. This study examines the role of AI in enhancing logistics efficiency in Dangote Group’s freight operations, with a focus on its operations in Kogi State.
Statement of the Problem
Dangote Group faces challenges in managing its freight logistics efficiently, including delays, high operational costs, and resource inefficiencies. These challenges hinder the company's ability to meet customer expectations and optimize resource utilization. This study explores how AI tools can address these issues and improve logistics efficiency.
