The OKR titled "Enhance drayage gross margin via cost optimization" focuses on maximizing profits through cost control and efficiency. It aims to manage the cost of drayage operations with three central objectives. Each objective is backed by key initiatives for effective implementation.

The first objective aims to reduce supplier contracts costs by 10%. The actions involve conducting comprehensive analyses of current supplier contracts, devising negotiation strategies for a 10% cost cut, and initiating meetings with suppliers for renegotiation. This strategy emphasizes leveraging better contract terms and pricing.

The second objective focuses on implementing a cost tracking system to reduce unaccounted expenses by 20%. This includes the development and implementation of a cost tracking system, training staff to use this system effectively, and performing regular audits to ensure the system is functional and efficient.

The final objective aims to slash drayage operation costs by 15% through improved efficiencies. This includes employing efficient truck scheduling and routing systems, improving container packing for maximal capacity use, and training the staff for cost-effective operational practices. These initiatives aim to optimize operations for cost effectiveness.
