How to plan the food delivery route efficiently?

After sorting the ingredients, the next step is to send the ingredients to the customer canteen through the cold chain car. How to plan the route scientifically is something that many vegetable distributors in canteens should fully consider. Safe and punctual delivery of ingredients to customers is the core point of distribution, so how to plan the route in vegetable transportation and distribution?

The first is the departure time planning. Long-distance customers need to leave early, and the corresponding ingredients should be sorted and loaded in advance. In general, the farther the distance, the more the distribution company needs to start ahead of time; If the distance is short, we can postpone it a little. In addition, at least 30 minutes should be reserved to deal with emergencies and ensure timely delivery. In addition, it is necessary to avoid rush hours, and it is easy to deliver goods late in traffic jams.

The second is line arrangement, following the principle of covering the most customers and the shortest time. If possible, deliver on the road to avoid too many u-turns and intersections. Secondly, we should fully understand the customer's delivery time and ask for early delivery. Sometimes when planning the route, you can send the customers who are far away and early to the departure direction first; After that, customers with short distance and late time requirements will be arranged on the way back. This is a common arrangement.

In addition to excluding outsiders according to the principle of time and route order, the route is also planned according to the difficulty of distribution. Some big customers need a truckload of ingredients almost a day, and the handling capacity is large, so there is only one route. Sometimes the canteen vegetable supply company will arrange the orders of several big customers on the same line. In addition, it is divided according to the difficulty of traffic. For lines with complicated traffic and frequent traffic jams, all preparations should be made to avoid delays in delivery.

Under normal circumstances, the route of distributing ingredients is relatively stable, and the drivers who are familiar with the route transport the ingredients. If there is a change, then increase the larger order, so make corresponding adjustments.
