Paradox
Routing Tool (PART) is a Windows based application that can help with distribution network design, territory planning, shipment consolidation and carrier mode selection, and
vehicle routing and scheduling. Considering Order and Vehicle information,
DOT regulations, and customer service level requirements,
PART uses powerful optimization algorithms to generate vehicle
routes and schedules resulting in least distance and cost. Its interfaces with Microsoft MapPoint and ALK Associates’
PC*Miler suite allow for superior mapping, geo coding, and
path finding capabilities.
Features
- PART’s Site Selection
tool provides decision support to determine the locations
for an optimal number of facilities given the distribution
of demand.
- Shipment consolidation and carrier mode selection supports Private Fleet, Truckload, Multi-stop Truckload, and LTL modes.
- Routing capabilities include multi-stop closed loop and one-way routing, zone routing, and handling of backhauls.
- Shipment frequencies and vehicle restrictions, multiple customer service windows, multiple depots and vehicle types, etc. are some of the key features supported.
- Capable of benchmarking
an existing routing scenario. Existing routes can be imported
'as is', and calculated to produce the bench mark solution.
- Mileage and time calculations
based on Proprietary, PC*Miler, or Microsoft Map Point,
giving superior speed, mapping quality, and flexibility.
- Output in many forms such as
route maps, turn-by-turn driving directions, and equipment
utilization Gantt charts. This provides both a geographic
and spatial (time view) of vehicle routes and schedules. Export capabilities
allow transfer of information even to those who do not have
the program.
- Extensive data export options
allow for interfacing with other systems.
- Quick and easy implementation.
Understanding of and working with PART requires very little
training. Problem setup is quick and easy.
