Transportation Scheduling Objectives
Substitute estimated transportation lead times with ‘up-to-the-minute’ lead times for a fully valid transportation plan
Minimize transportation costs by building optimal loads and selecting adequate transportation means
Transmission of detailed transportation plans to carriers

Business Environments Where Detailed Transportation Scheduling is Critical
High volumes
Small shipment sizes
Use of 3rd party carriers
As well-suited for management by manufacturers (shippers) as it is by Third Party Logistics (3PL) providers

An Increasingly Critical Capability in the e-Business World: Dynamic Merge in Transit
A customer orders through the PC company web
storefront several products supplied from different locations and actually
different suppliers (cross selling)
1
Company web
server
PC manufacturer
Printer manufacturer (same company, other
division)
Office furniture manufacturer (ext supplier)
The order is automatically
dispatched to all supply sources

Suppliers provide their
promises back3
Consolidation of incoming flows at a location dynamically selected to minimize transportation costs

Transportation Scheduling ProcessExcellence Criteria
The use of an adequate optimization solver enables to minimize transportation costs by consolidating shipments into loads that minimize the total mileage and the usage of transportation space.
The solver considers ALL transportation needs.
The solver uses real carriers rates and routes, and considers all detailed transportation constraints.
The solver dynamically selects cross docking locations and activities.
The solver enables dynamic merge-in-transit to ensure one single delivery to the customer while minimizing transportation costs.
The sequence of optimization strategies is regularly fine tuned by performing what if analysis.
