Transportation Optimization

The vast majority of mills do transportation load planning of railcars and trucks entirely by hand, making it next to impossible to identify the most cost-effective method for achieving on-time delivery. Optimization technology can have an enormous impact on shipping costs by helping you to pack vehicles more efficiently, and by discovering opportunities for balancing loads among different modes of transportation so as to take advantage of your available rate structures. By this process of searching through literally tens of thousands of different loading patterns, optimization technology can identify the best loadplan solution to meet your needs.

The optAmaze Transportation Optimization system is the most cost-effective load planning system in the industry, but it is no less sophisticated! Only optAmaze offers unlimited access to web-based load planning optimization services for a flat monthly subscription fee. Users only need an Internet connection and a standard web-browser in order to begin reducing freight costs and improving on-time delivery.

Of course, cost and on-time delivery are competing objectives that involve tradeoffs for the scheduler. For each transportation problem you submit, we will provide you with different load planning alternatives that reveal these tradeoffs. You decide which solution meets your requirements. Each solution will tell you exactly what to place into each type of vehicle based on the list of available vehicles and the freight rates specific to your manufacturing site.

Simple. Reliable. Amazing!
