Logistic route rationalization and optimization
0 likes2,558 views
Logistic Route Rationalization and Optimization discusses rationalizing logistic routes through: 1) Surveying existing routes to collect distance, road, and timing data. 2) Scheduling routes based on average speed limits, branch times, and rest periods for drivers. 3) Planning routing between hubs while considering transshipment possibilities. 4) Determining vehicle needs based on loading patterns along routes. It also introduces a visual decision support system to analyze and optimize 3PL operations through trade lane analysis, load consolidation, route optimization, and exception handling.

- 3. Route Designing & Planning Route Planning Key Activities •Route Survey – Outcome of this activity is to find out exact distance, existing route contour, road conditions, timings of RTO/ Check Posts, Railway Crossing Information and branch information •Route Schedule- After knowing the route, scheduling is done as per •Average speed is 35 km per hour •Intermediate branch touching/check post/ traffic jam timings •Rest to the driver at the destination site is 8 hours •The gap between incoming and outgoing should be 6 hours •Calculation of Idle time •Routing Plan- As per originating and destination hub along with transshipment hub possibilities are considered. •Vehicle Planning- How many vehicles are needed to be deployed ona route and their type as per loading pattern at different hubs along the route.
