[QUOTE="35years, post: 4092222, member: 60822"] He is a part timer to IE promotion. No real experience on how actual routes run. Perhaps a few months. My ORION team (and several after) tried to "fix" how ORION works on my route. None of the solutions worked if all the relevant info was imputed. We are talking a year and a half of attempts by the lead IE guys. Try imputing 50 scattered businesses, many having early closing times, over a huge geographical area. ORION solutions yielded outcomes that added 20-60 miles a day. They tried everything. It would work 1 or 2 days a week if stops were light, cutting 2 miles a day then costing 20+ miles a day 3 days a week. Eventually they removed the closing times to yield solutions that were close to what I normally ran. The problem is that I still had to get to the commercial stops before they closed. So I would either run ORION (breaking off to avoid missed stops) and add many miles, or ignore ORION and cut miles and time. They eventually begged me to stop running ORION. Here is how a day could go (same stops, same day).... My way .............................................................200 miles ORION projection with close times programmed in....230 miles ORION projection with no close times ....................170 miles Now the 170 is unobtainable without missed stops. So if I ran ORION, and broke off for missed, I would put on 220 miles on a 170 projection. So they have bounced around the plans, sometimes mirroring RDO, sometimes completely letting ORION run wild with no AM/PM stops named. A complete disaster. [/QUOTE]
