OTM 6.3.2


Planning: Weight Distribution

A

B

C D

• Goal: Abide by stacking limitations to improve equipment packing

• Logic:

– Weight is considered on multiple layers of items

– Weight is distributed when an item rests on two or more items

• Example:

– Weight of box A (plus B) affects box C (and D)

– Combined weight of box A and B is split across C and D

OTM 6.3.2

100 100


Planning: Load Splitting, Partial Pallets

• Goal: Split pallets to achieve higher equipment utilization

• Ability to define load split options – Weight, volume, and dimensions of each

piece (ship unit)

• Constraints – Only works for ship unit based orders

where the ship unit count = 1

– Splits for a pallet are always in the same equipment

– Partial on full footprint

– No partial on partial

OTM 6.3.2


Network Routing - Overview

• Use Case: – Order’s path from source to destination

may require multiple shipments through intermediate locations

– Choice of intermediate locations exists

– Routing decisions are made at time of planning

– Routing choice can be influenced by order volumes on multiple lanes

• A Network (new 6.3 object) is an association of locations and regions that represent the possible flows of orders from a source to a destination

OTM 6.3


Planning: Network Routing

• Network Planning with

Commitment Allocation

– Use percentage commitments when making network routing decisions

– Now considers FEU and TEU commitment as criteria • Assigned equipment will change to satisfy %

commitments

OTM 6.3.2


Usability: User Defined Pick list/Drop Lists for Flex Fields

• Turn flex field into a pick list or drop list on finder sets and manager layouts

FixedDropList

FlexPickList

OTM 6.3.2


Usability: Refresh Query on Screen Set Results

• Re-run current query from Finder

results page

OTM 6.3.2


Usability

• Rapid Order Base and

Order Release Entry Screens – Configurable managers for OB

and OR that support in-line editing for Ship Units or Lines and active refreshing

OTM 6.3.2


OTM 6.3.3


Planning

• Patterns for 3D Load Building

– Place multiple items into a unique grouping where the predefined combination efficiently fills the available space

– Benefit over individual placement is that items can be arranged as a set rather than simply sorted by some criteria and then fed into the packing algorithm one item at a time

– User defined and auto-generated

OTM 6.3.3


Planning

• Activating and De-activating Source/Destination Locations

– Planning and tendering constraint

OTM 6.3.3


Planning

– Outbound Location Profile • DC1 to Northeast Stores - MWF

• DC1 to Southeast Stores - TR

OTM 6.3.3


Planning – Network Routing

• Network Routing: Time and Cost at Throughpoint – Planning-related handling time and

cost included in decision

• Planning Handling Time

–Fixed (DD/HH/MM)

–Variable (per weight)

–Defined at location

• Planning Handling Cost

–Per volume

s D

$5 per Cu ft 1 day

$2 per Cu ft 2 days

OTM 6.3.3


Usability

Usability

Toggled between selected and unselected rows

Before

• SELECT ALL/SELECT NONE box on Finder Results

Now goes from selected rows to select all to select none

After

Only current tab, not across tabs

OTM 6.3.3


• Add a SELECT ALL/SELECT NONE box on Manager Results Page

Usability

OTM 6.3.3


RIQ - Network Rate and Route

• Uses network routing logic to show multiple options (equipment, schedules) for the primary leg in an itinerary, versus just the best option per itinerary

• Additional input criteria added, additional output information, new configuration options and XML APIs to support the new capabilities

OTM 6.3.3

Example: 2 itineraries generates 6 options to consider 3 different equipment groups (20’, 40’, 40’ HC) available out of 2 different Ports of Discharge (Osaka and Kobe)


RIQ - Network Rate and Route New RIQ Input Fields for XML and for UI

• New Filter Fields – Port Of Load

– Port Of Discharge

– Voyage ID

• New Fields for Primary Options – Primary Option Definition

• How responses will be grouped –either “itinerary” or by “schedule and equipment group”

– Maximum Primary Options

• The number of “best results” based on the grouping that was selected by the Primary Option Definition

– Maximum Supporting Options

• Always 1 in the UI for now – can be manipulated via the API

OTM 6.3.3


RIQ – For Rail Users

• Pre-configured Rate Inquiry screen

– Includes input and output

OTM 6.3.3


Execution

• LTL – Support for cloud based Rateware XL

with CarrierConnect XL

– Equivalence to on-prem functionality

• Certifications Expanded – PCMiler Worldwide 26.1 and 27.1

– PCMilerRail 19 and 20
