Operating flexibly to handle peaks and troughs in demand can be difficult, and some collections can be more problematic than others. Are you frequently planning or re-planning operations? Are you thinking about contingency plans? Do you understand, in detail, why some collections are inefficient?

Assessing the impact of changes to resources, waste volume, material type and service levels is essential in providing cost effective and efficient service. But how do you assess the impact of moving from direct delivery to landfill, to a delivery system that uses a transfer station, for instance? Where should the transfer station be situated?

Likewise, how can you assess the effect of material separation in the management of your existing contracts? What are the other options for collection of recyclables? What will they cost? Furthermore, how will the Working Time Directive affect the efficiency of your operations?

Using LogisticsOptimser, we can help you answer these questions, plus those
that relate to your unique requirements, providing the information you need to make important business decisions.

LogisticsOptimser utilises a range of data on your operation, such as:

• Driver availability and capability;
• Vehicle availability and capability;
• Depot numbers and locations;
• Pickup numbers and locations;
• Waste volumes;
• Waste composition (residual, green, paper, glass, plastics, metals, wood, C&D waste);
• Your business rules (logical and experiential).

Using your data and our modelling capability, with LogisticsOptimser we can help you to:

• Predict and plan driver and vehicle resource requirements for each job in detail;
• Provide resource charts for drivers and vehicles for use in day-to-day operations;
• Respond to real time changes in circumstances and plan accordingly;
• Plan contingency or worst case scenarios. For example: will we have enough storage capacity at a transfer station to buffer delivery to landfill or elsewhere effectively?
• Analyse driver and vehicle utilisation, driver work orders, late and early jobs;
• Improve performance. For example: could collections be organised differently to balance the rounds more effectively?
• Produce validated reports and statistics for evaluation of:
  - Service levels;
  - Cost of providing the service;
  - Assessment of penalties;
  - Utilisation;
  - Daily activity;
  - Materials collected.
