Guided Tour: 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).
-
With the Route 1 window open and active,
select Duplicate Route from the File menu to duplicate it again.
-
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, by
allowing PC*MILER to resequence this route, the shipping company
running Route 1 would potentially save approximately 112 miles
and 45 minutes of driving, plus the additional trip costs!
