JAKARTA - The National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) stated that the increase in professionalism, starting from company management to drivers (drivers) in the logistics sector, could reduce cases of over-dimensional vehicles and overload (ODOL).
KNKT Senior Investigator Ahmad Wildan at the 14th Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia (TMMIN) Awarding event in Karawang, West Java, Saturday, June 21, stated that applying the principle of professionalism in implementing distribution channels could suppress the ODOL case.
"This increase in professionalism can suppress ODOL as well," he said, quoted by Antara.
He conveyed that one way to improve professionalism is that the government can make a race or give awards to entrepreneurs and truck drivers in the logistics sector, thus encouraging the formation of professionalism.
"KNKT proposes this to the government so that awards like this will clearly increase driver professionalism and have an impact on safety and efficiency," he said.
Meanwhile, the President Director of TMMIN, Nandi Julyanto, said that through this event his party strengthened his contribution to the sustainable logistics supply chain, which emphasized aspects of safety, operational efficiency, and support for carbon neutrality targets through the Green Logistics concept.
This event, he continued, was a commitment of TMMIN to strengthen and improve the competence of logistics partners in achieving the toughness of supply chains that were able to contribute on a national scale.
"Logistics play an important role in the smooth running of supply chains, and in the midst of the increasingly tight level of national automotive producer competition, logistics plays a major role in increasing competitiveness in all aspects, namely safety, quality, delivery, and cost," he said.
Vice President Director of TMMIN Bob Azam emphasized that his party always strives to ensure an efficient and safe operational system in each distribution, by emphasizing the importance of the role of human resources in safety aspects.
Given that the risk of accidents in the distribution process or logistics can hinder the production process and harm many parties, increasing human resource competence is a major factor in reducing risks and strengthening the industrial supply chain in Indonesia.
TMMIN Logistic Skill Contest is a means to strengthen the ability of all logistics actors in facing the challenges of the automotive and logistics sector. Safe driving safety factors and operation of logistical equipment are the keys that directly affect the smooth production and satisfaction of customers," said Bob Azam.
In addition to improving driver skills in driving safely, currently the logistics operations of TMMIN have implemented a digital application system initiated by the company to monitor and prevent accidents.
This system works to monitor the health condition of both physically and psychologically drivers in real-time to determine the driver's feasibility to carry out his duties.
He said that his party will also continue to expand the system by adding artificial intelligence (AI)-based features that are able to detect signs of fatigue or lack of focus while driving.

In addition, a Global Positioning System (GPS)-based driving behavior monitoring system will also be implemented to support eco-driving practices, as well as track the carbon footprint generated from each trip.
Bob Azam hopes that logistics partners can properly implement the use of technology so that TMMIN and its supply chain can continue to be relevant and sustainable industries.
