Running a Planning Scenario: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Creating Plans

  • Navigate to the Plans page.

  • Click on "Create Plan" to start.

2. Plan Configuration

  • Add a plan name (e.g., Morning Shift).

  • Choose shipment types for the plan:

    • Deliveries

    • Returns

    • Pickups (First-mile)

    • Transfers (Middle-mile)

  • Plan Start/End Time

    • Specify the plan's start and end times.

    • Note: If agents don't have shift times, the plan time will be utilized instead.

  • Pickup and Dropoff Lateness

    • Define the extra time or grace period for jobs:

      • Example: If lateness is set as 30 minutes, the optimizer prioritizes scheduling deliveries within the specified time window but considers the lateness period if schedules are tight. ( 10:00-11:00 am + 30 mins grace )

3. Adding Shipments to a plan

  • Go to Shipments Page

    • Access the shipments page in your system.

  • Filter and Select

    • Use filters to find the shipments you want.

    • Select the shipments you wish to add to a plan.

  • Add to Plan

    • Click "Add to Plan" for the selected shipments.

  • Choose Plan

    • Select the plan where you want to add these shipments.

  • Save Changes

    • Confirm and save the changes.

4. Adding Agents to Plans

  • Navigate to a Plan

    • Access the created plan in your system.

  • Add Agents

    • Click on "Add Agents" within the plan interface.

  • Use Filters

    • Apply filters to narrow down your search for agents.

  • Select Agents

    • Choose the agents you want to add to the plan and click on confirm.

Note: Agents can be part of multiple Plans, but shipments are unique per plan.
