Figure - VRP process for the sigle Next-Gen FSM Platform functionality

Type: it indicates the Next-Gen FSM Platform functionality where to use VRP process.

  • TSP Daily Optimization: it allows to assign a VRP process to the ‘Optimize’ functionality of the Daily Plan;

  • TSP Improved Optimization: it allows to assign a VRP process to the ‘Optimize and Integrate’ functionality of the Daily Plan;

  • VRP Real-time Reprocessing: it allows to assign a VRP process to the Real-time process;

  • Processing Team Creation Model (Ph. 1): it allows to assign a VRP process to the first phase of virtual plan scheduling;

  • Processing Final Assignment Model (Ph.3): it allows to assign a VRP process to the third phase of virtual plan scheduling;

VRP process: VRP process to assign to the specific Next-Gen FSM Platform functionality;

Model: optional - specific scheduling Model to consider in the VRP process

By clicking on OPERATIONS button (icon1, Figure - VRP process for the sigle Next-Gen FSM Platform functionality), it’s possible to configure the VRP process to be used by all the Operation Centers.
