Key Capabilities of JDA® Fleet Management, powered by Manugistics®:
- Strategic asset planning and management
- Master delivery schedule creation
- Integrated enterprise-wide transportation planning
Many companies employ a mix of common carrier and private fleets. They use this mix to lower freight costs where they can with common carriers, but maintain the flexibility they need to service their key customers using their own assets. Many firms struggle with how to maximize utilization of assets, especially in today’s environment of high fuel costs and driver restrictions. These firms need a solution that develops an optimal fleet transportation plan that minimizes cost while maximizing asset utilization, thus keeping their customer service levels high and their freight costs low.
JDA Fleet Management uses constraint-based optimization to create detailed work plans that manage a private fleet based on shipment requirements. It plans and dispatches the fewest routes that cover the least number of miles in the shortest time, and enables more volume to be moved with no additional resources.
