[QUOTE="35years, post: 2336910, member: 60822"] I would tend to agree with you since I have seen evidence of ORION "learning" from the driver's behavior and adjusting the following day. I am not sure if it is ORION or management examining the previous day's GPS/trace breaks. But what works one day can spell disaster for the following day. I have seen the ORION solution switch the order of stops for a certain "cluster" of stops seemingly because it made sense to do so the previous day. Only on the 2nd day the switch made no sense. If ORION is using artificial intelligence to "learn"from driver behavior, it is using a very flawed program to do so. More likely a manager made changes in the "improved RDO" order or changed the % ORION was allowed to deviate from RDO trace for A.M. or P.M. stops. This becomes evident since the ORION solution will often "forget" the more efficient way to run a "cluster" or neighborhood from day to day. It is important to realize that the ORION solution can be manipulated in many ways by management. Your route may be classified or re-classified as a baseline, regular, or traveling salesman route. Each will produce a very different ORION solution given the same stops. In addition management can manipulate left bldg. time, business closing times, time windows for pickups can be expanded or contracted. They can choose to use, or not use "clusters". They can set the % ODO has to mirror RDO. They can manipulate when ORION projects you taking break, and how much break. They can make, or not make, ORION have you do your first and/or last stop close to the bldg. etc. etc. etc. All of this is to try to fix a very flawed program. [/QUOTE]
