[QUOTE="OrionsBitch, post: 3546294, member: 65132"] I tell my dispatch supervisor this every day....he is clueless.....iiwas a computer science major so I decided to show him and proved it to him. I cam up with a hypothetical route that had 150 stops. I simulated one year of dispatches by varying the stops and areas on the route. (As if he was dispatching) then I wrote a simple AI program....litterally basic as could be and showed him that if this program watched how he dispatched for a year it could litterally do his job. Obviously there are some different things I didn't account for (volume, pieces, etc.) But if you hired a group of people to program it (not the Orion team) they could figure it out pretty quick. Basically the program figured out how to mimic what he was doing and put stops in order etc. He didn't really know what to say lol also he wouldn't let me use real route data which would have been more accurate. Honestly it's amazing UPS hasn't done this yet. It would be way better than ORION and wouldn't cost nearly as much. [/QUOTE]
