Resequence the Route
PC MILER can resequence the stops in a route, thereby optimizing trip time, cost
and mileage.
Let’s resequence Route 1:
-
Close Route 2 (select it from the Windows menu and then select
Close Route from
the File
menu or click the “X” button in the upper right corner of the window).
-
Make sure Route 1 is the active route, then duplicate it again (select
Duplicate
Route from
the File menu).
-
Select Resequence Stops... from the Route menu, and make sure the Run route
after resequencing option is checked.
-
Click OK to resequence the stops in the new Route 2 window.
-
Select Comparison from the Report menu.
As you can see, PC MILER determined that the optimal route would have Manchester
as its
destination and Armstrong as the second stop. The resequenced route is
significantly different from
the version of the same route that you entered yourself. In fact, by allowing
PC MILER to resequence this route, the shipping company running Route 1 would potentially
save about 103
miles and over 50 minutes of driving time, plus the additional trip costs!
