Scheduling Bottlenecks in Distribution and Dispatch
General analysis, not a claim of distribution project experience.
Scheduling breaks when the inputs are stale
Dispatch scheduling is only as good as the inputs it's built on — vehicle availability, order readiness, route conditions. A scheduling bottleneck often isn't a scheduling problem at all; it's one of those inputs being tracked on a delay, which makes even a well-designed schedule wrong by the time it's actually used.
