Cooperative Routing

surender · #1 (**permalink**) December 5th, 2007, 13:36

Hi,

I would appreciate it if some one can help me understanding the Cooperative Routing functionality in OTM.

I created CR (Cooperative Routing) shipment and Shipment set for the following the shipments but during Launch Aggregation process, no data is processing for No of Shipments, No of Aggregates, No of Outliers and No of Forecasts i.e. its shows zero output

Also can some one share where the Cooperative Shipments are stored in database i.e., in tables. I tried to check the same under buy shipment table space but there is no CR shipments stored. I understand that the CR shipments are different from the Buy shipments. Is my understanding correct?
Is there any setup existing through which we can bring buy or sell shipment data directly into CR shipment.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Surender,

I am currently working on cooperative routing and I faced the same problem as you, and have exactly the same questions as you. May I know if you have solved your problems and care to share with me?

thank you!

Hi,

I have managed to work my way thru, and CR Aggregation works. Below are some points to share:

1) Distance in Shipment is mandatory for CR
2) I changed my region definition to state/province instead of city, and it works, for whatever reason I'm still checking out
3) CSV upload for CR Shipments - use P SHIPMENT table

However I encounter CR Solver problems:
1) Whenever I include CR Fleet into CR Scenario, the solver failed
2) I couldn't obtain any CR route out of the solver...? I wonder what's wrong..hmmmmm

Anybody can help? tks in advance!

Have same problem: no results when launching CR solver, no routes. CR solution has Succeeded status code but only contains zeros.

Done steps:

1. Created shipments
2. Assigned to shipment set.
3. Created CR Project.
4. Launched Aggregation (had results: number of aggregates and forecasts).
5. Created fleet.
6. Created CR Scenario, launched and thats all... blank data recieved

Hi,

Check a few things:

1) Make sure "distance" is keyed in. It is mandatory though it is not stated.
2) Region definition: use "state/province" geo hierarchy only

try again....:-)

Cooperative Routing (CR) is a new module available in version 5.5 that helps identify backhaul loops and shipment series by analyzing a business’s historical shipment data. OTM uses this data to create a Cooperative Route Template, which identify lanes that can be linked together. The execution piece of Cooperative Routing can assign orders to these routes automatically.
