• Advance planning system
• Controls the planning and management of inventory
• Goal is to increase stock turn and improve DIFOT(Delivery In full, On time)
Constraints

Primarius’ F-OPT Vehicle Routing Optimisation toolset is a freight asset routing
system, which can manage a large variety of constraints to produce optimised vehicle tasks
and routes on a dynamic basis. The range of constraints able to be handled by the system
include –
1. Approach
• Analysis of existing methodologies
• Modeling and Simulation of alternatives
• Development and Implementation of optimised system
Primarius optimisation toolsets are readily configurable to handle the complexities
of most transport businesses.
2. F-OPT Benefits
• Simple data interface
• Dynamic routing via HP/SMS Communications
• Turn by turn instructions
• Utilised over WAN or WEB
• Google Maps interface
• Can be integrated with GPS Tracking System
3. Initial Data Requirements
• Locations (Customers, warehouses and suppliers)
• Resources and Availability (Vehicles and operators)
• Resource constraints (Limitations and compatibilities)
• Tasks (Deliveries, supply pickups, returns), and
• Customer orders (via host data dump).
4. Reports
• Route summaries,
• Route sheets
• Turn by Turn directions,
• Spreadsheet download
• Custom reports when required
• Activities conducted ( When, What, Amount),
• Resources ( Assets, People, Equipment and Availabilities),
Productivity (By Resource, Activity, Time Period),
• Priorities (Rules of Engagement),
• Service levels (Acceptable or Required), and
• Costs (Fixed, Variable, Marginal).
