  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOGISTICS OPTIMIZATION USING LANE ORDER PATTERN FLEXING
    Publication number: 20150356503
    Abstract: A system and method is provided which determines optimal logistics solutions by allowing a purchaser of goods to vary order frequency and amount of goods ordered so as to lower logistics costs while still meeting inventory constraints. The logistics solution uses several models to search for the most optimal solution in any of a variety of metrics, including total cost, percentage trailer utilization, number of truck used, and miles driven.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SIMULTANEOUS OPTIMIZATION OF LOGISTICS AND PURCHASING
    Publication number: 20140304188
    Abstract: A system and method that provides optimization of order and routing patterns that solves for optimal freight margin, not just freight cost. The optimization includes freight allowance information typically varying by item that is used to determine ordering and routing solutions. The solutions thus are based on freight impact to total landed product cost, not just load freight costs. Optimization results are then translated into performance targets based on freight margin, not just freight expense.

  • System and method for simultaneous optimization of logistics and purchasing
    Patent number: 8799178
    Abstract: A system and method that provides optimization of order and routing patterns that solves for optimal freight margin, not just freight cost. The optimization includes freight allowance information typically varying by item that is used to determine ordering and routing solutions. The solutions thus are based on freight impact to total landed product cost, not just load freight costs. Optimization results are then translated into performance targets based on freight margin, not just freight expense.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PURCHASING PLANNING-BASED LOGISTICS OPTIMIZATION
    Publication number: 20130159043
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for preplanning optimal order and routing patterns prior to the creation of individual purchase orders. In one embodiment, the preplanning based approach preferably includes both freight under management and freight not under management. Additionally, planning-based optimization suggests changes to existing ordering and routing guidelines where the network has changed and made the current solutions sub-optimal.

  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOGISTICS OPTIMIZATION CONSTRAINED BY INVENTORY REQUIREMENTS
    Publication number: 20130080206
    Abstract: A system and method is provided that optimizes order and routing patterns that considers inventory constraints, including days on hand and shelf life. The results of the optimization of order and routing patterns includes an impact on inventory carried and frequency of inventory turns, to enable Purchasing personnel to gauge the viability of the solutions with respect to capacity, carrying costs, and continuity of supply.
