3. Route Designing & Planning
Route Planning Key Activities
•Route Survey – Outcome of this activity is to find out exact distance, existing route
contour, road conditions, timings of RTO/ Check Posts, Railway Crossing Information and
branch information
•Route Schedule- After knowing the route, scheduling is done as per
•Average speed is 35 km per hour
•Intermediate branch touching/check post/ traffic jam timings
•Rest to the driver at the destination site is 8 hours
•The gap between incoming and outgoing should be 6 hours
•Calculation of Idle time
•Routing Plan- As per originating and destination hub along with transshipment hub
possibilities are considered.
•Vehicle Planning- How many vehicles are needed to be deployed ona route and their

5. Indicative Application of Visual 3PL DSS
• Shippers rationalization: vendor analysis - ABC Analysis, contract
renegotiations, route allocation
• Hub service utilization: CFS vs. CY analysis
• Distribution network cost analysis: optimization, restructuring of cost centres
• Freight optimization: optimal Selection of vendors trade-lane wise to have
minimum freight cost
• Geographical territory wise analysis
• Sales force planning & optimization: in a particular territory, in what
sequence should pick up happens to have min cost and service levels are met
• Cubic meter monitoring, tracking and planning in a territory
• Container wise profiling of corridors and profitability analysis - Container
type and size
