Once the vehicle route has been scheduled, the frequency of collection and dispatch not only depends upon the demand and supply but also on other constraints.The firm has to keep in mind the firm has to choose between 2 strategies for optimal utilization of the resource.
Take the example of Amul Dairy and milk marketing cooperative in India. Here schedules are announced in advance and the local farmers know at what time the vehicle will visit their village for milk collection.In other words, it works with static schedules which are pre-decided for milk production
Auto companies to work with static schedules for part collection from their vendors.
Companies like Unilever clusters all dealers into 6 groups and each static group gets served on a working day and even within that day, the route followed by the vehicle is announced well in advance. Static schedules result in, by and large, uniform load on the depot and transport system and helps the dealer in planning the work ahead because the dealer knows the exact slot within a week when delivery can be expected.
