Transportation Guru Creating Multi-Stop Vehicle Routes Vehicle route optimization (VRO) that creates multi-stop vehicle routes Uses optimization to design routes for: Inbound Consolidation Outbound Consolidation Periodic Shipment Balancing & Scheduling Continuous Moves Backhaul Continuous Moves Interleaved Shipments Fleet Optimization and Mode Selection Fully integrated within Supply Chain Guru Transportation Optimization Determine optimal multistop routes using detailed cost models 4
What s new in v8.1 TG VRO? Transportation Guru Vehicle Route Optimization Fleet Optimization: Identify efficient multi-stop vehicle routes while optimizing fleet size Continuous Moves Interleaved Shipments: Interleaved pick-ups and drop-offs within cohesive routes Periodic Shipment Balancing & Scheduling: Determine frequency, shipment schedule, while balancing shipment deliveries across horizon
Continuous Moves Interleaved Shipments Optimization What can the Continuous Moves Interleaved VRP solve? Interleaved pick-ups and drop-offs within cohesive routes, while considering right-sizing fleet and mode selection What are the benefits? Create multi-stop routes that include pickups and deliveries interleaved throughout route to minimize costs while considering fleet costs and determining mode selection Utilizing Continuous Moves Interleaved VRP Optimization There are many ways to apply Interleaved VRP optimization technology. Here are just a few examples: Retailers can create routes that move product between stores Warehouses can transition inventory to other facilities with inter-facility routes New product and returns can be considered on one route 3PL s can consider delivery and pickup requests during a single route
Fleet Optimization VRP What can the Fleet Optimization VRP solve? What are the benefits? Balance optimizing fleet size while identifying efficient multi-stop vehicle routes, maximizing utilization Asset costs considered in objective function in order to create multi-stop routes with the right fleet mix Utilizing Fleet Optimization VRP There are many ways to apply Fleet Optimization VRP technology. Here are just a few examples: Determine optimal private fleet size Utilize optimization parameter to identify how many assets are needed to run optimal routes Minimize private fleet and 3PL carrier assets Consider which carriers to use in addition to private fleet
Periodic Shipment Balancing & Scheduling What can the Periodic VRP solve? What are the benefits? Scheduling optimization on top of standard VRP to identify how frequent and when to deliver or pickup on multi-stop routes while balancing shipments across a time period Determine schedule for multi-stop vehicle routes to minimize costs while adhering to scheduling requirements Utilizing Periodic VRP Optimization There are many ways to apply periodic VRP optimization technology. Here are just a few examples: Identify frequency of deliveries or pickups balancing contract requirements and transportation costs Determine delivery or pickup schedule for all locations while considering transportation system constraints Balance shipment schedule throughout the week
