Automated Decision Making
The transportation optimization process has several stages.
Transportation analytics
First, you use transportation analytics to analyze your transportation network and explore how you can redesign or reorganize it for better efficiency. You’ll need basic information about your transportation system such as the fleet size, driver numbers, time windows and service level agreements (SLAs).
Transportation planning
If you plan to use transportation optimization in your daily operations, first you must digitize the data that describes your transportation network. You also must develop a process to collect dynamic data such as order status, vehicle and driver locations and delivery processes. This information is essential to implement planning, monitoring, and routing software.
Automated decision making
After you digitize the transportation network and add planning, routing and monitoring software, your next step to improve transportation logistics is to introduce automated decision making. The growing demand for delivery services makes this the only way to fully manage and control your transportation system. Automated decision making also helps you prepare for autonomous (self-driving) vehicles and Industry 4.0.
