Figure 2. 1 Vietnam GDP growth by quarter, 2016 – Q2/2021


After hitting bottom in 2Q20, Vietnam's economy in 4Q20 and 1H21 has shown a V-shaped
recovery.

Although Vietnam has experienced a third and fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (at end-
January and April 2021, respectively), Vietnam's economy in 1H21 continued to rebound, up
5.6% YoY from the lowest in 1H20 (+1.8% YoY in 1H20). Vietnam's GDP expanded by 4.7%
YoY in 1Q21 and increased by an estimated 6.6% YoY in 2Q21.

IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

In 2020 and 1H21, Transportation and warehousing sector has slowed down with a reduction
from 9% increase in 2019 to 1.9% decrease in 2020. In 1H/2021, Vietnam has both maintained
production activities and combated the pandemic that lead the market rise up. The logistics
market also have the recover, however in 1H2021, the Transportation and warehousing still
decrease 0.6%.

Figure 2. 3 Total revenue of VNese enterprises in Logistics industry, 2015 – 2020

In 2020, the revenue of Vietnam's logistics industry is estimated at 23.29 billion USD, down
12.2% compared to 2019 due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, causing a sharp decrease
in the demand for transportation services. In which, the airfreight recorded the strongest decrease
in both transport and rotation volume. Because many factories had to suspend operations, the
number of goods that needed to be moved was reduced, leading to a decrease in the
transportation and delivery of goods in the supply chain, greatly affecting the operation of
transportation service businesses.

Profit before tax of Vietnam's logistics industry had a positive growth rate in the period 2015 -
2018. But in 2019 and 2020, the profit of the industry decreased sharply, even reaching negative
levels due to the negative impact of Covid-19.

IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

Figure 2. 4 Number of enterprises in the logictics industry in Vietnam, 2015 – 2020

Number of logistics enterprises tend to increase over the years of 2010 - 2020. By the end of

scale of over 40 billion USD/year. According tothe Report on Strengthening the Road Transport
Industry in Vietnam, road freight is the predominant mode of transport in Vietnam.

b. Overview of warehousing and other supporting activities

A bonded warehouse is a transshipment center, a bridgehead to access the market before


putting goods on the official market. However, the role of bonded warehouses in Vietnam has
not really been promoted. The number of bonded warehouses across the country is not small, but
it has not really met the needs of import-export enterprises. Most of the bonded warehouses are
outdated, warehouses upgraded from previous facilities are not warehouses.

17
IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

In fact, at present, the demand for bonded warehouses invested with modern, in-depth
and quality systems is increasing, most of which come from foreign customers. Taking
advantage of 3PL service prices (except warehouse rent) which are still quite competitive in the
Vietnamese market, foreign customers often rent bonded warehouses to serve as distribution
centers for export goods thanks to their flexibility. of this type of warehouse. This is a good
opportunity for bonded warehouse businesses with sustainable development policies, capable of
satisfying customers' needs well.

On the other hand, this is also a condition for warehouses to improve service quality,
creating synchronization with the general trend to create a uniform and competitive bonded
warehouse market in the region.

Realizing the great development of the bonded warehouse business and the increasing
market demand for this type, the customs industry has been focusing on improving many issues
related to the management supervision process. management, gradually applying information
technology to simplify procedures. This contributes to improving the service value of the bonded
warehouse type, and also creates a good impression of a positive change, as assessed by foreign
customers.

As of December 2020, the General Department of Customs has issued a decision to


recognize 180 bonded warehouses nationwide, which are managed by 22 Customs Departments
of provinces and cities and carry out customs procedures for goods brought in. in and out of the
bonded warehouse.

Regarding the general situation, bonded warehouses operate well at routes and locations
with high traffic volume such as seaports (Hai Phong, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Ho Chi Minh City...),
border gates. (Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, Tay Ninh, Binh Phuoc...) have a large volume
of trade with bordering countries; a number of bonded warehouses in the inland serving the
goods storage activities of export processing enterprises and industrial parks (Bac Ninh, Ninh
Binh, Binh Duong, Dong Nai...).

a. Importing data process

Stage 1: Receiving PO from WMS system and handling failed PO import

Access the tab EDI/ JOFRAN/ Import PO/ PO Pending to check whether our customer
JOFRAN has transmitted the PO signals to the system. If PO details appear in the
working area “PO Pending List”, I will select each of them and create the PO.

Figure 3. 2 WMS software interface/ EDI tab

Regarding the WMS’s reporting failed creation:

This is explained by the fact that some of items sent by customers are new and have not
been updated to our system. In this case, I need to to select each item and export to excel
file named “FAIL 16.03.22” and merge items, PO codes, information followed by item.
After that, accessing the Infor 9 system/ Facility / Enterprise / Configuration / Item to
check if the item code has been updated to the system, for any item code that is not
available, I will highlight them in the excel file to update the detailed information.
Accessing the Infor 9 system/ Facility/ Enterprise/ Configuration/ Item/ New → in the
General tab, enter Owner information, Item code, Description (note: the character length
< 60 characters), CBM, GROSS WEIGHT → save

23

Go to Facility/ Songthan/ Configuration/ Item - find item code/ notes/ UDF7 and
enter packssize (used to calculate inventory):

• Packsize 1 is 1 carton with 1 pcs


• Packsize 2 is 1 carton with 2 pcs

Figure 3. 4 WMS software interface/ detailed new item

24
IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

After updating the new item, I will go back to the tab “PO fail” on the tab bar of WMS
and choose “Repair PO”

Stage 2: Updating the PO details to internal storage

It is necessary to store each and every detai of information for later searching or
controling, therefore I will access the Infor 9 system/ Inbound/ Purchase Order/ choose
JOFRAN or *52/ choose date (e.g. 16/03/2022) and export the Excel file “wmsapp” sheet
Detail.

After that, I will copy the information in the Detail sheet (including Purchase Order
number, Item number, PO Line, QtyOrdered) and paste into Excel file "NHA MAY - TO
KHAI 2021" sheet PO TRUYEN.

In the "NHA MAY - TO KHAI 2021" sheet PO TRUYEN:

● Run the formula ExternPOKey, EffectiveDay, Inventory (updated from sheet “TON
KHO HANG NGAY”).

● From column: manually enter the manufacturer's name according to the Supplier Code

Supplier NGHIA KY THANH MINH LATITUDE LOT 2494-7 ART & CRAFT LILA

Supplier SU0206 SU0336 SU0123 SU0313 SU0355 SU0325


Code

In the Sheet “PO TRUYEN”, I will sort information by factory and copy information
(including POKey, Item No, POLineNumber, ExternPOKey, FROM, QtyOrder,
EffectiveDay) into each sheet of the factory. As our company works with customers and
suppliers simultaneously, it’s advisable to manage the inputs and outputs in every order.

Stage 3: Sending confirmation email

For foreign factories, I will send a general confirmation email to customer – JOFRAN
including:

○ Sending email to Supply Chain Group including JOFRAN manager and internal
Data team, Warehouse manager to confirm with customer that the transmitted PO
has been received with information fields (including POKey, Item Number,
POLineNumber, ExternPOKey , FROM, QtyOrdered, EffectiveDate, Inventory)

○ For foreign factories, GMD will do the declaration procedures.

27
IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

Figure 3. 7 Email to customer interface/ confirm PO Key and ASN

For domestic factories, a separate confirmation email will be sent to each factory

○ Domestic factories will send an additional email (reply email Confirm PO) to
ask the factory to provide a declaration before sending the goods to the GMD
warehouse.

○ Email content: PO number and bale number → factory opens declaration and
resends

Stage 4: Importing goods to warehouse

This stage has steps in total

Step 1: Receive PKL from customer via email 1 day before the goods are imported into
the Warehouse.

• Email content, required codes to import goods


• Enter the item code in the Shipment Note from the factory into the Excel file
“putaway.xls” to divide the pallet and position

28

Step 2: Receive the import declaration and compare the goods code and quantity with the
PKL, print the Packing list for the Import Warehouse.

• The PKL will include the product item code / SKU and the number of units
calculated by carton or pallet.
• I will print the putaway slip (including item information, lot, quantity, unit,
location)
• The staff at the warehouse will enter the goods into the locations (locations) on
the shelves (rack) and note the location on the putaway slip (Allocate location
automatically or manually), note “Goods receipt”

b. Exporting data process

Step 1: Receive delivery instructions via email from customers

• Email subject: Waved-City (FL)-Po# 1878359


• Email form: [Waved]-[Shipper name]-[Po# number]
• Email content:
o Item code: 30082001-2:1 (in WMS, the field name is PACKSLIP)
o PO number: 1878359 (in WMS, the field name is Customer_PO)
o Booking number: SGN1524987
o Attachment: Booking confirmation (sent by the customer)

booking picture stickers

42
IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

Types of containers:

20HC

40HC = 45GP

40ST = 40GP (low content)

4xL5GP (highest container)

Step 2: Check the information in the Booking file that the customer attached in the
email

• I will check departure date (ETD), SI cut-Off Date/Time (must be packed at least
1 day in advance), container type (usually 40HC), and booking number for Data
controller and D/c uploaded to the system Info.
• For example:
o Booking number: SGN1524987 (store the last 4 digits internally)
o ETD: 23-Mar-2022 10:30
o SI Cut-Off Date/Time: 18-Mar-2022 04:00 PM
o Merchant Haulage/Quantity 1x40'HC

Step 3: Update booking on WMS system

• I will access WMS system, select the Import Order tab → Tick all the
corresponding item code in the email Customer sent above and export the excel
file (Ctrl + Export to Excel). (illustrated in Figure )
• Next, I will create folder “BK4987” (taken from last 4 digits of BK) in folder
ANH KHANH (Warehouse Supervisor)/BK4987/save excel file BK4987.
(illustrated in Figure )
• Open excel file BK4987 and then delete unnecessary columns, keeping the
following fields: DetailOrderNumber, PRODUCT, QTY_TOPICK,
TotalCube(m3), TotalCube(feet), HarmonizedTariffCode, CBM OF GMD.
(illustrated in Figure )

43
IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

• Go to the MAU file, copy the CBM OF GMD formula into the BK file to
compare the customer's CBM with the CBM of the GMD warehouse. (illustrated
in Figure )
o If there is a big difference between the 2 CMBs, the Data Controller will
adjust them to be similar.
o If the GMD warehouse has not yet measured CBM, then use customer’s
data
• Calculate total QTY_TOPICK, Total Cube(m3), Total Cubic(feet), CBM OF
GMD. (illustrated in Figure )
• Sort by A-Z, prioritize DetailOrderNumber then PRODUCT if there are multiple
item codes in 1 BK. If there is only one item code, then only sort A-Z by
PRODUCT
• Check if there is an item code that is allowed to increase or decrease (eg: Waved
+/- ) then highlight it. (illustrated in Figure )
• Format the file to send to the customer for easy viewing. (illustrated in Figure )

Step 4: Create export orders on WMS

• Tick select PACKSLIP of the order to create an order → Click “Create Order” so
that the system generates a new SO number (eg: 2200008718). If there are many
PACKSLIPs in 1 BK, then Create Order for each DetailOrderNumber in turn, not
Create Order that combines multiple DOs at the same time. (illustrated in Figure
)
• Go to the Shipment order tab → Look up the SO number and then open the SO
information details → Fill in the information: Booking No, CNTR Size/Types,
FCL/LCL (DO choose FCL first). If there are many DOs, from the 2nd DO, do
not enter CNTR Size/Types and enter LCL. (illustrated in Figure )
• Check Total Quantity on WMS with information on Excel file BK4987 and click
Save. (illustrated in Figure )

Step 5: Confirm booking with customers

44
IS047IU VNU-International University

• Reply to all Waved emails of the customer, the content of the email reconfirms
with the customer the item code, PO number, booking number and copy of the
BK details table.
• At the same time, Mr. Khanh will go to HQ to apply for seals, based on booking
to make a packing plan including:
o HANG TAU
o CY (Container Yard) Cutoff Date
o SI Cut-Off Time
o Port of Shipment (CANG HA)
o ETD
o Cont No

warehouse customs will print the declaration for Gemadept warehouse.

You have to take paper documents to liquidate, but you can't liquidate online

When the warehouse customs has finished printing, it will be taken to separate documents, 1 set
of documents will be photocopies of 5 sets or 6 sets (in case of compounding, domestic and
foreign goods, including the first declaration 1 and 5)

1 set of documents sent to the liquidation party, then send 3 sets of documents + 1
booking → click together → send the liquidation team, this team will go to the port (eg: Cat Lai
lower port) and liquidate the declaration → Liquidation After that, the container will complete
the application procedure.

Only when the container is unloaded can the declaration be liquidated, if there is a container at
the port, the declaration can be liquidated.

Each shipping line will have its own type of booking presentation (eg: CMA, Cosco, Hapag-
Lloyd) → care about Booking number (1 booking can have many containers, but 1 container
cannot have many bookings), Vessel, ETD , Port of Lading (please ask the shipping company
where the container is located), build a few containers.

If a booking has 3 containers, it can be closed for many days. Once the declaration has been
opened and approved, in case there is a change to the port of departure, it will have to be
corrected by notifying the warehouse customs (orders are under the supervision of the warehouse
customs, under supervision until the documents are completed, payment is made). reason), they
will remove it and I choose item 5.1 Get information about the declaration of correction

a. Importing goods into DC

81
IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

Figure 3. 53 Loading and unloading process at docks


For domestic goods imported from factories in Vietnam, we will follow these steps:

Step 1: Factories in Vietnam will open the customs declaration form and related
documents, liquidate the customes declaration form and print out 2 hard copies of
Packing list ( 1 for the factory and 1 for our DC).

Step 2: When staffs from factory deliver the goods to our DC, they are required to
register with the safety guards. After that, I will arrange and assign the available
unloading dock for unloading procedure.

Step 3: After receiving the hard copy of putaway file from Data Controller Department,
the tally man will support the dockworkers to count and unload the goods from the
container.

Step 4: The tally man will confirm the quantity of goods uloaded from the container with
the shipper and complete the related documents.

Step 5: While the docworkers unload goods and leave them on the stage, the folklift
drivers will move goods from stage to appropriate position on the racks and note down
the position on the Putaway file.

82
IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

Step 6: At the end of the working day, I will collect all the importing documents and
submit to Data Controller Department. Their job is to report the inputs to our customer,
JOFRAN.

Regarding goods imported from foreign factories, the significant difference is that our
Documentation Department opens the customs declaration forms for them and VATD
Department will conduct the liquidation of customs declaration forms. Another fact worth
noticing is that there is the “Biên bản giao nhận hàng hóa” in the process of importing
goods from foreign factories.

b. Exporting goods from DC

Step 1: After receiving the booking order from JOFRAN, Mr Khánh will come up with
the packing plan and send it to the VATD Department.

Step 2: Data controllers will create the exporting order including the packing list and
picking list

83
IS047IU VNU-International University
Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

• Packing list report is for the stock-keeper to keep track, double check with items,
quantity before loading into container.
• Picking list report is taken from the Infor system to assist the forklift drivers in
picking the goods from the accurate position.

Step 3: When the empty container is ready to be loaded, the stock-keeper will double
check the total quantity from the packing list report and the total numbers of goods
available on the stage.

Step 4: I will double check with vehicle number, cont number, seal number before
loading and evaluate the inside condition of the container.

Step 5: When the dock-workers load the goods into the empty container, the stock-keeper
will take photos of each layer of goods and note down in the report.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY OF WAREHOUSEING


ACTIVITIES IN DC 1 AND 2 OF GEMADEPT LOGISTICS COMPANY

4.1 Peak season

When it comes to the model of bonded warehouse logistics as Gemadept DC1 and 2, various
problems have been raised in this field of industry. The first one is whether it is a seasonal
change or a sale, if Gemadept DC1 and 2 are not well-prepared or lacks the adequate warehouse
space to take in more inventory to complete orders, then the risk is the reputation being damaged
when they likely bumble the order.

4.2 Automation implementation

Since automation can play a significant role in easing some of these problems, its anticipated that
technology solutions are going to play a larger role in 3PL business like Gemadept DC1 and 2.
The recent survey indicated that logistics services providers will be looking for solutions to help
increase visibility for their customers and to ease communication between those customers,
suppliers.

In addition, the use of code or other order picking methods should be integrated into the
inventory management process to improve efficiency, accuracy, and speed when picking.
Currently, the loading of goods on the rack is only based on the observation and experience of
the forklift drivers and the system has not been optimized to provide empty slots to load goods
into the rack.

4.3 Loading and unloading at the dock

Currently, the process of loading and unloading at the docks at both DCs is taking a long time,
averaging 45 to 60 minutes for containers in DC1 and 30 minutes for other retail items in DC2.
Therefore, what needs to be done to increase efficiency and productivity is to reduce the time to
perform the above stage by supporting specialized equipment and sufficient human resources.

4.4 Working environment

Regarding the working environment of the employees in the Data and Documentation
Department, it is necessary to upgrade the screen devices, keyboards and work chairs to increase
efficiency. Especially with the Data Department, computers need to upgrade RAM and processor
chips to run heavy data files on the computer quickly and smoothly.

Engineer Internship School of Industrial Engineering & Management

V. CONCLUSION

Internship 2 has been a great opportunity to deeply understand the concepts related to the supply
chain management and logistics field taught on the campus. The observation and knowledge
gained from the working experience in Gemadept is an invaluable experience for my future
development and career.

After 2-month working in the main departments in Gemadept Bonded Warehouse, I have
observed a general view of logistics fields, observe the operation of the manufacturing process,
professional style of staff and the practical working environment. Moreover, the practical
system and software applied in the company are far more realistic and applicable than the ones I
have studied in school. This fact makes me realize that how important the learning with practice
is and encourages me to join the working environment and apply the knowledge from university.

Last but not least, it is expected that the university program should be updated to catch up with
the real processes in enterprises in Logistics ans Industrial management field, form the simplest
procedure to the most complex one.
