The role changing of the logistician

Most logisticians are afraid of introducing innovations, due to the fear of replacing real people with artificial intelligence. It is worth noting that technology does not stand still and there is no need to resist it. After all, after the implementation of the Logimus system, the role of the logistician does not become less significant; his work will have even greater weight in the company. For example, it takes a logistician about 8 hours to build a route. The Logimus system built an optimal network of routes with minimal costs in 8 minutes. In this case, the logistician has the opportunity to switch to another equally important job, or try to improve the solution that our system offered. How exactly? The system creates the best routes, subject to the inviolability of time intervals, customer priorities and other parameters that were set by the logistician or that were downloaded, for example, from your 1C. Let’s imagine that, according to the contract, we must deliver the cargo to store “A” during the time interval of 16:45-17:00, and to the neighboring store “B” in the same period of time. To fulfill these conditions, you need to send one car to store “A”, and one car to store “B”. In practice, the logistician knows that both stores have no scandalous managers, and the goods can be delivered between 16:00 and 18:00, and not at a strictly agreed time. In this case, our system will remove one car from delivery, and this is already a big savings. And there can be many such examples. That is, a logistician, having built a route using our system, can still play with the parameters taking into account his knowledge, and the system will recalculate the solution again. As a result, thanks to the work of the logistician, it is possible to further reduce another 7-10% of the transport involved in distribution. And this does not take into account the fact that the first step of optimization using our system immediately reduces cars by 10-30%. That is, if with the manual work of a logistician, 100 cars were needed for delivery, when using the Logimus system, 80 cars are needed, and with coordinated work of System + Logistician, only 72 cars are needed. We conclude that the work of a logistician remains incredibly important. Only a person has the right to change the boundary conditions under which a computer operates. Many logisticians who use our System say: “It’s hard to force yourself to use the new one. But when you learn, you are a valuable specialist who saves your company money much more than before.” This is understandable, because minus one car with a driver, fuel and taxes is minus $4,000 in costs every month (including depreciation, fuel, salaries, taxes, overhead, etc.) This additional savings achieved, thanks to the reasonable initiatives of the logistician, is our system shows it to the director.
