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, a shipping company using PC Miler to
resequence this route would potentially save about 104 miles and close to
1 hour of driving time, plus the additional trip costs!
