Sometimes daily dynamic optimisation is impractical or inappropriate. In this case you may be using fixed routes that run every day or week.

At Menzies Distribution Optrak is used to plan the daily delivery rounds to newsagents and other outlets. It is used around the United Kingdom on a depot by depot basis, assisting manual schedulers in the re-design of delivery sequences. It is also used strategically to test the effects of alternative scenarios and has enabled Menzies to venture into new markets confident that they know what to expect. The move into evening newspaper distribution was supported by an evaluation using Optrak.
