Automatic Planning and Disposal with Optimization Module

DPK OptiGraph® is a unique program designed for automatic schedule of assigning employees/drivers and vehicles to transportation duties/tasks. Program enables complete remote multi-stand work based on SQL servermanaging authorized access control and data transfer. Planning and current control is available in the prorma in three switchable sections/levels: Employee - Vehicle - Task/Duty. Program is equipped in a special optimization module that allows to minimalize costs equally taking to concideration law requiremnts, as well as external and internal requirements of particular company.

1. Multi-stand work
   • Complete architecture: client-server
   • SQL database Server managing periodical crew schedule projects, authorized access control, possibility of changes entered by many users simultaneously
   • Possibility of multi-stand work in a local network without limits to stand number
   • Possibility of blocking particular parts of user projects for their individual edition
   
   
2. Planning in three switchable sections/views
   • Driver / Day
   • Duty / Day
   • Vehicle / Day
   
   
3. Working Day Edition
   • Entering desired number of crews (work, tasks) for one employee per day
   • Possibility of entering editable (at planning level) crews
   • Possibility of crew dividing, adding, deleting and editing drives
   • Possibility of editing data on drivers and vehicles in the program
   
   
4. Planning continuity
   • Planning in continues time axis for chosen period of time
   • Possibility of creating any number of projects for particular period of time
   • Accepting chosen plan and confirming for realization
   • Possibility of working on a copy of accepted, already being realized plan, in real time
   • Current preview of plan/ performance
   
   
5. Current verification of company activity
   • Preview of chosen parameters regarding daily personal and vehicle readiness for transportation tasks – numerical and graphical (parameters defined by user)
   • Preview of current balance of different hours and days of driver
   • Driver times balance actualization based on previous accounting periods
   
   
6. Calendar excluding independently of natural calendar:
   • Type of day according to driver schedule for transportation work
   • Type of day according to kind of employment for calculating drivers working time
   
   
7. Automatic verification of schedule in accordance to Law Regulations
   • Labour Code
     – Different types of work and different calculation periods of time
     – Working day & night hours
     – Overtime hours
     – Days-off
   • Drivers Working Time Act
     – Daily rest
     – Weekly rest
     – Driver parameters
     – Duties
   • Directive EWG 3820/85, 3821/85
     – Daily rests
     – Time compensations
   • Agreements with labor unions, internal company agreements.
   
   
8. Computer aided automation
   • Three groups of automation /automatic algorithms:
     - Stochastic
     - Deterministic
     - Hybrid
   • Automation that support work schemes creation
   • Automation of vehicle assignment to tasks and drivers
   • Parameterization of algorithms – work in group of crews, drivers, in periods of time with parameters predefined by user
   
   
9. New Optimization Module!!!
   • Creating periodical schedule based on mathematical optimization methods
   • Plan optimization for chosen period of time and group of drivers
   • Complying individual request of user:
     - Driver – Duty
     - Vehicle – Duty
     - Driver – Vehicle
   • Optimization of the objective function/ cost function which takes into account following parameters:
     - Unassigned duties/tasks
     - Overtime and under-time working for drivers
     - Transgressions in regulations regarding driver working time
     - Other specific company requirements
