[QUOTE="Brownisbrown, post: 5749139, member: 107063"] Not a justification but im 95% sure the reason is due to profitability per voyage. In the sea shipping industry, 90% of the cargo that is sent over thru voyage covers the overhead costs of the trip meanwhile everything else is the profit. That means its necessary to fill 90% of your volume or else you will have made a net loss in your trip. Thus although we generally overestimate by roughly 10%, Its probably better to reallocate 10% of surplus volume at a later period than send a package car/trailer 10% under volume. You could probably say we would be a lot more efficient if we had skilled individuals able to gauge how to properly allocate volume in each ctr, but I guess upper management believe its better to have an AI that gets it right 75% of the time than a human who can 85%-95% of the time.
