12. OTM – Street Level Routing

13. Rail: Functionality
 Rule 11
 Block Trains
 Rail Schedules

14. Rail – Rule 11 Example
Leg 1 Leg 3
BNSF (KCITY) NS (BELVU) WE BNSF (CHGO) CSXT (GRNWH) WE
Cost $1050 + $2100 + $1000 = $4150 Cost $2100 + $1500 + $1000 = $4600
Time 4 + 5 + 2 = 11 Days Time 6 + 3 + 2 = 11 Days
Distance 67.3 + 692.4 + 56.9 = 816.6 Miles Distance 506.5 + 281.2 + 38.7 = 826.4 Miles
Route 2
BNSF (ESTL) NS (BELVU) WE
Cost $1575 + $1800 + $1000 = $4375
Time 5 + 4 + 2 = 11 Days
Distance 489.6 + 462.2 + 56.9 = 1008.7 Miles

20. Ocean – Transload Shipments

21. Planning with Consols
 Consols provide the ability to manage defined capacity for a voyage.
 Consols may be created from an existing Schedule.
 Consol shipments can be created independent of orders. Once a consol
shipment exists, orders can be booked onto it.
 Available capacity for the shipment can be tracked.

22. Air: Functionality
 TACT Rating & Chargeable weight
 Cut off and Recovery times
 Air Schedules

23. Functionality – Display Rating

24. Chargeable weight & TACT Rting
Amsterdam to Singapore:
98 kg Actual weight
800,000 cm2
Chargeable Weight
KLM Minimum < 45 kg 45 – 100 kg 100 – 300 kg 300 – 1,000 kg Volumetric
charge factor
AMS - SIN € 410 € 24.50 per kg € 23.50 per kg € 19.50 per kg € 16.50 per kg 6,000
• Chargeable weight = 800,000 / 6,000 = 133.33 kg
• Chargeable weight > Actual weight => Use Chargeable weight
• 133.33 kg @ € 19.50 / kg = € 2,600.-
• Without chargeable weight : 98 kg @ €23.50 / kg = € 2,303,-
• Without chargeable weight but with deficit : 100 kg @ €19.50 / kg = € 1,950,-
Display Rate – TACT (The Air Cargo Tariff)
TACT Minimum < 45 kg 45 – 100 kg 100 – 300 kg 300 – 1,000 kg Volumetric
charge factor
AMS - SIN € 550 € 56,50 per kg € 53,00 per kg € 47,50 per kg € 37,50 per kg 6,000
