  1. COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining &Tuning Your System Andrew Dyment Adyment@commandalkon.com (905) 870 1410

  2. Session Objective • This session is designed for customers that have implemented Optimization in their operations and are looking to keep their costs and configuration current and fine tune their results. This session will also benefit those who have not implemented Optimization yet, but would like to see more of the technical aspects to tuning the system. MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  3. Agenda • Maintaining Your COMMANDoptimize server • Maintaining your COMMANDseries data • Tuning Your COMMANDoptimize system • Tuning OCMI MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  4. Maintaining The Server • Take backups of the COMMANDoptimize server-CSIS folder-Ortec FolderGiven the above , the rebuild is a straight forward and short in duration • Install Packages Required – CmdFleet, OrtecLicenceServer • Institute a periodic reset/reboot of your server • Be on a regular update process MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  5. Maintaining The Server • Enable CSIS’s Queue Monitor MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  6. CSIS’s Queue Monitor • Located on your Optimization server • Use the same eMail setting as your COMMANDfleet server • Configuration Program is usually in the CSIS->Configuration folder • MSMQ’s are used to move COMMANDnetwork messages between CmdSeries and OCMI • If the messages are being created but not consumed, that is a indication that a module is not running • Use a threshold of 50 messages to start with MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  7. Maintaining The Data • Loading Speed Setup • Plant Loading Speed • Projects • Item • Resource Attributes • Employee • Truck • Map Pages • Costs MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  8. Maintaining The Data • Loading Speed Setup (CmdSeriesFiles->Plant and Delivery) • Load time is calculated Overhead + (LoadSize*Per Unit Time) • Mix time in Yard is the Post Load Time • Multiple Loading Speeds Per Plant • Alternate Speeds for Mixes/Batchman/Mechanical issues • Be careful and use actual plant performance MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  25. Maintaining The Data • Truck Alternate Capacities MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  26. Maintaining The Data • Truck Attributes (CS08 2.13) MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  27. Maintaining The Data Order Entry- Schedule Requirements MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  28. Maintaining The Data Map Pages Setup • Comm Process to update Map Pages • Parameters are tuned • If you move a plant, get new default times • If you add a plant, get new default times MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  29. Maintaining The Data Costs MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  30. Costs • Base all costs on real data MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  31. Costs MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  32. Day Costs • The fixed cost that is attributed to bringing in an additional truck. • Include Daily benefit charge • Do not include all the minimum hours • Include Minimum hours – Ave RTT MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  33. Tuning COMMANDoptimize MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  34. Tuning Your System • Need Baselines! • Need Targets! • Need a process to bridge your Baselines to your Targets • Need to tune the Optimizer to reflect our current efficiency • Need to monitor your results • If you are not doing the above, Go no further MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  35. Tuning Agenda • Why do we need to continually tune COMMANDoptimize? • Who should be tasked with the role? • When should we review the settings? • Where are all the tuning parameters? • How do you tune the system? MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  36. Who should Tune COMMANDoptimize?-One person-Champion -Full understanding on what goes into generating the plan MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  37. When should we review the settings?-it is not your settings, but your results that need reviewing.-if you see an opportunity MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  38. KPI Table MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  39. OCMI Break Push Out – Minimum amount of time before a tasked truck is available - 5 minutes is a good starting point MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  40. OCMI Maximum Route Distance- Any plants further away will be excludedClosest Plant will not MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  41. OCMI End Of Day Tasks – Tasks that will cause the truck to be taken out of service MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  42. OCMI Minimum Status Age – Any status older than this time will not be forwarded to CM MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  43. OCMI DeadheadTime – Time the truck will be dedicated to the deadhead plant MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  44. OCMI Delay Availability – Driver will no assigned call in time will have a unavailability based on this parameter MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  45. OCMI PlantLocking – Determines the amount of time the Optimizers suggested plant for a truck is locked in MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  46. CM-INI Files INI files – Optimization Server Tips.ini TipsLocal.ini MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  47. TIPS.INI Parameter: MaxFreeVehicleTime This parameter determines that amount to yard time a truck may have until it starts to calculate a cost. The tuning of this parameter will mitigate washing local trucks out and deadheading foreign trucks into yard. MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  48. TIPS.INI Parameter: WeightRestVol This parameter specifies the factor applied to the remaining quantity of an order once CM starts to consider the order’s next load. It is based on the idea that it is preferable to spread the delivery of an order over a smaller number of trucks even if this would mean waiting for larger trucks, so that final “under-sized” loads are minimized. If the parameter is set below 0, CM will focus more on getting the current load scheduled MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  49. TIPS.INI Parameter: WeightFollowUpDelivery This parameter specifies the factor applied to the lateness cost for loads that are not the first of an order. This parameter is based on the idea that once deliveries have begun on an order, subsequent loads should be subject to even higher lateness penalties than usual. The higher this parameter, the less CM accepts lateness between deliveries of an order. MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System

  50. TIPS.INI Parameter: NOrderForMatching This parameter specifies the number of ‘next’ loads that are taken into account when deciding which truck and plant should be scheduled for the current load. This parameter highly influences performance – the higher the number the slower the performance MGT-002 COMMANDoptimize: Maintaining & Tuning Your System
