11
Now, it is time to assign equipment to the shipment. This is broken
down into 2 actions: Assign Equipment Type and Assign Equipment.
This section reviews how to assign an equipment type to a shipment.
The section following it will review how to assign equipment to a
shipment.

12
First, lets review how to assign an equipment type to a shipment
using the dispatch board.

13
Prior to assigning an equipment type to the shipment 01046, the shipment has
three stops:
The first stop is an NFR stop at the drivers home location of Narberth, PA
which was added when the driver was assigned.
The second stop is a source location of Woodbury Equipment Yard, NJ.
The final stop is a destination location of Marcus Hook, DE.
In addition, the total weighted cost is $93.00, the total actual cost is $59.54, and
the planned cost is $31.65.
The NFR stop has added 22.31 empty miles to the shipment.

Keep these numbers, locations, and destinations in mind and on the next slide
lets review the same information once the equipment type is assigned to the
shipment.

14
The equipment type assignment logic changes the shipment in
several ways:
1. Assigns a 45ft equipment type to the shipment
2. Checks the inventory at the Woodbury Equipment Yard and determines that
the driver does not need to bring in an empty piece of 45ft equipment
3. Checks the special services and determines that the driver is picking up a pre-
loaded 45ft equipment type at Woodbury Equipment Yard
4. Finally, determines that a simple freight unload will occur at Marcus Hook.

Note that this is a simple scenario where there is no need to bring in


an empty and the equipment to be picked up is available and pre-
loaded. We will review a more robust example later in this session.
The assignment logic does not change any of the costs on this
shipment due to the equipment type assignment.
In the demonstration later in this section, lets review exactly how this
driver was assigned to the shipment and review the resulting shipment
in more detail.

15
When you assign an equipment type to a shipment, you are not
associating a specific fleet asset but a type of asset at a location to a
shipment. This allows OTM to initially build a shipment telling a driver
to go to the trailer yard and get a particular type of trailer, 45ft in this
scenario. Then at a later time, assign a specific 45ft trailer to the
shipment.
The availability of the trailers at that location is controlled by the
location asset inventory buckets that have been set up. See section 5
for the details of how the asset inventory buckets are set up for this
scenario.
To assign an equipment type to a shipment, go to Actions > Fleet
Management > Assign > Equipment Type.

16
The joining of shipments and equipment type enables you to fulfill the
first portion of fleet shipment equipment requirements. This in turn
allows for more granular control, visibility, and state management of
fleet assets as they are used throughout the network.
The assign action discussed on the previous slide, and the associated
action logic used by this action, consider many factors when assigning
equipment type to a shipment including:
Feasibility
Cost
Ignore criteria
Advanced criteria based on the action selected

Lets discuss each of these factors in greater detail.

17
When you are assigning an equipment type to a shipment, OTM
performs a feasibility check to obtain a list of all feasible equipment
types.
Feasibility checking includes a check of the order, shipment, location, inventory,
driver, and power unit for any compatibility constraints. The check also includes
looking at rules defined as a special service or a remark.
The equipment type must be included in the equipment group that is specified
on the shipment.
For the daily driver scenario, Warbler Holdings has no special services or
remarks defined for equipment or equipment type. So this training course will not
cover this in any detail.
For more details on how to define rules using special services or remarks,
please see the Special Services and Remarks and the Fleet Planning and
Assignment TOIs for OTM 6.0.

18
During the feasibility check, OTM will only assign an equipment type
that is available.
Available equipment type is determined by the location asset inventory
functionality.
For assignment, the equipment type must be in a bucket that has available
equipment types.
The actual set up of this location asset inventory and its corresponding buckets
will vary depending on your implementation of OTM.
For the daily driver scenario, lets take a look at the location asset inventory ID of
Woodbury Equipment Yard and review its buckets. For details on exactly how
this location asset inventory ID and its buckets are set up, refer to session 5 of
this training course.
Note the location asset inventory ID of 45FT
EQUIPMENT_EQUIPMENT_WOODBURY EQUIPMENT YARD. This will
be the source location and equipment yard for the first of Warbler Holdings
shipments which is 01046. Since the shipment has a special service of
CHECK INVENTORY at the source location, the equipment type
assignment action will ensure this location does not need any empty
equipment moved into it. The answer to this question is no, since the Total
Onsite bucket has a quantity on hand of 25 and a Target of 20. This means
that this location is above its target of equipment on hand and will not accept
any additional 45ft equipment.

19
In addition to feasibility, OTM looks at cost as part of the action logic.
Once OTM performs the feasibility check and narrows down the list of
candidates, OTM then looks at cost and/or weighted cost to determine the best
candidate.
Weighted cost is not persisted to the total shipment cost and is meant to steer a
selection decision, without influencing actual total shipment cost. For equipment
type assignment, the weighted cost is generally empty miles penalty together
with inventory position penalties (going too high above or too far below the
inventory bucket target).
Costing is used to influence the assignment decision making process and does
not generally model true cost.

20
You can ignore certain criteria as part of the action logic. Once the
action has been selected and run, you see the Assign Equipment
Type to Shipment Ignored Criteria page.
When you select a criteria to ignore, you are telling OTM to overlook previously
defined rules for the purposes of this one assignment.
The criteria displayed is specific to shipment to equipment type assignment and
shares little with other objects.
Ignore criteria focuses on the assignment rules contained in compatibility rules,
special services, and remarks.

Specifically for this scenario, you can ignore criteria in the following
sections:
Compatibility Rules This lists all the compatibility rules defined in the rule
set for compatibilities to be ignored. To view the public compatibility rules,
go to Configuration and Administration > Power Data > General > Rules.
For more details on rules, rule sets, and compatibility rules, refer to the OTM
online documentation or the OTM 6.0 TOIs.
Remark Qualifiers This lists all of the remark qualifiers that apply to this
equipment type. You can also ignore specific remark rules by qualifier. All
applicable remark qualifiers are displayed and are from the related business
objects from which the rules are to be enforced. As such, this list is
dynamically generated for a given shipment to equipment type assignment.

21
You can also enter advanced criteria as part of the action logic. The advanced
criteria page differs when assigning a piece of equipment or an equipment type
to a shipment.
When you click the Override Advanced Filter button, a list of advanced filters
from the logic configuration opens. The advanced filters are set up on the logic
configuration ID of EQUIPMENT TYPE ADVANCED FILTER DEFAULT which is
public data that is shipped with OTM.
However, you can override the advanced filters on this page without editing the
logic configuration of EQUIPMENT TYPE ADVANCED FILTER DEFAULT.

22
Next, lets review the assignment options:
There are several options available in the Assign Equipment Type for Shipment section:
You will sometimes see more than one line item (for example, Pick Empty For Freight)
available for processing. Each process line refers to a different equipment movement
portion of the shipment that requires potentially distinct equipment. The equipment
movement(s) that show up on this screen are determined by the special services.
Select the check box next to only those equipment movements that you wish to process.
In this case, there is only one. Watch for a more complicated scenario later in this
session.
Then, you can enter one or more of the following although they are not necessary:
Location ID You can restrict the location ID at which the driver can pick up the
empty piece of equipment.
Equipment Type ID If the equipment group on the shipment includes many
equipment types, you can restrict the shipment to only consider the equipment type
specified. You can force OTM to select a specific equipment type instead of using
Show Options at the bottom of the page.
Equipment ID At the same time that you force an equipment type, you can also
force OTM to pick a specific piece of equipment. If you enter an equipment ID here,
you do not have to specify an equipment ID during the Assign Equipment action.
Once you select the line item to process, you have two options:
OK Click the OK button to have the equipment type ID and/or equipment ID that you
entered above automatically assigned to the shipment.
Show Options Click the Show Options button to see a list of all feasible candidates
sorted from the most optimal equipment type to the least optimal equipment type based
on the rating engines weighted cost functionality. You can evaluate the list and select
the appropriate equipment type.
This page will be shown in more detail in the demonstration later in this section.

23
Here is a sample equipment type to shipment assignment results
page using show options. This page in the context of the actual
shipment will be shown in greater detail in the guided demonstration
at the end of this section.

24
Next, it is time to assign equipment to the shipment. This section
reviews how to assign an actual piece of equipment to a shipment.

25
Next, lets look at how to assign an actual piece of equipment to a
shipment using the dispatch board for this daily driver scenario.

26
When you assign an actual piece of equipment to a shipment, you are assigning
a specific fleet asset to a shipment.
You cannot run this action unless you have already assigned an equipment type.
This action takes as input the equipment type and location determined during
the equipment type assignment.
The action selects the best piece of equipment of the type at that location for the
given bucket of EMPTY.
To assign a piece of equipment to a shipment, go to Actions > Fleet
Management > Assign > Equipment.

27
The joining of shipments and equipment enables you to fulfill the final
portion of the fleet shipment equipment requirements. This in turn
allows for more granular control, visibility, and state management of
fleet assets as they are used throughout the network.
The assign actions discussed on the previous slide, and the
associated action logic used by those actions, consider many factors
when assigning a piece of equipment to a shipment including:
Feasibility
Cost
Ignore criteria

Lets discuss each of these factors in greater detail.

28
When you are assigning an actual piece of equipment to a shipment,
OTM performs a feasibility check to obtain a list of all feasible pieces
of equipment available.
Feasibility checking includes a check of the order, shipment, location, inventory,
driver, and power unit for any compatibility constraints. The check also includes
looking at rules defined as a special service or a remark.
For the daily driver scenario, Warbler Holdings has no special services defined
for equipment or equipment type. So this training course will not cover this in any
detail.
For more details on how to define rules using special services, please see the
Special Services and Remarks and the Fleet Planning and Assignment TOIs for
OTM 6.0.

29
After the equipment is assigned, it will need to be manually moved
from the EMPTY bucket into the ASSIGNED bucket for the
equipment pickup location of Woodbury. The equipment will also
need to be moved into the PROJECTED INBOUND LOADED
bucket at the destination of the shipment.

30
In addition to feasibility, OTM looks at cost as part of the action logic.
Once OTM performs the feasibility check and narrows down the list of
candidates, OTM then looks at cost and/or weighted cost to determine the best
candidate.
Weighted cost is not persisted to the total shipment cost and is meant to steer a
selection decision, without influencing actual total shipment cost.
The weighted cost is considering the time in bucket at the location. This allows
for inventory rotation when doing an automated assigned equipment action.

31
You can ignore certain criteria as part of the action logic. Once the
action has been selected and run, you see the Assign Equipment to
Shipment Ignored Criteria page.
When you select a criteria to ignore, you are telling OTM to overlook previously
defined rules for the purposes of this one assignment.
The criteria displayed is specific to shipment to equipment assignment and
shares little with other objects.
Ignore criteria focuses on the assignment rules contained in compatibility rules,
special services, and remarks.

Specifically for this scenario, you can ignore criteria in the following
sections:
Compatibility Rules This lists all the compatibility rules defined in the rule
set for compatibilities to be ignored. To view the public compatibility rules,
go to Configuration and Administration > Power Data > General > Rules.
For more details on rules, rule sets, and compatibility rules, refer to the OTM
online documentation or the OTM 6.0 TOIs.
Remark Qualifiers This lists all of the remark qualifiers that apply to this
piece of equipment. You can also ignore specific remark rules by qualifier.
All applicable remark qualifiers are displayed and are from the related
business objects from which the rules are to be enforced. As such, this list
is dynamically generated for a given shipment to equipment type
assignment.

32
Next, lets review the assignment options:
There are several options available in the Assignment section:
You will sometimes see more than one item available for processing. Select the
option button next to only those items you wish to process. You will see one row
per equipment movement. In this screen shot, there is only one equipment
movement so there is only one row.
Then, you can enter the Equipment ID although it is not necessary. If you know
the equipment that needs to be assigned to this shipment, it can be entered
here. This will perform the assignment and adjust the inventory buckets
appropriately.
You must enter an Equipment Saved Query ID. OTM can either automatically
pull a default Equipment Saved Query ID from your parameter set or you can
specify it here.
Then, click either OK or Show Options.
OK Click the OK button to have the best option automatically selected for
you if nothing has been manually entered. If you manually entered an
Equipment ID, clicking OK assigns that Equipment ID to the shipment.
Show Options Click the Show Options button to see a list of all feasible
candidates sorted from the most optimal piece of equipment to the least
optimal piece of equipment based on the rating engines weighted cost
functionality. You can evaluate the list and select the appropriate piece of
equipment.
This page will be shown in more detail in the demonstration later in this section.

33
Here is a sample equipment to shipment assignment results page
using Show Options. This page in the context of an actual shipment
will be shown in greater detail in the guided demonstration at the end
of this section.

34
Prior to assigning an actual piece of equipment to the shipment 01046, the
shipment has three stops:
Stop 1 is an NFR stop at the drivers home location of Narberth, PA.
Stop 2 is a source location of Woodbury Equipment Yard, NJ.
And, stop 3 is a destination location of Marcus Hook, DE.
In addition, the total weighted cost is $93.00, the total actual cost is $59.54, and
the planned cost is $31.65.
The NFR stop has added 22.31 empty miles to the shipment.

Keep these numbers, locations, and destinations in mind and on the next slide
lets review the same information once the equipment is assigned to the
shipment.

35
The only change in the shipment was that the equipment ID of ABCZ979302
was added to the shipment.

In the demonstration on the next slide, lets review exactly how this equipment
was assigned to the shipment and review the resulting shipment in more detail.

36
This guided demonstration reviews how to assign an actual piece of
equipment to the shipment 01046 (Narberth to Woodbury to Darby)
via the dispatch board.

This guided demonstration in Oracle UPK will take approximately 10


minutes to complete.

37
Next, lets review the results of the assignment of driver, equipment
type, and equipment to the second shipment of 01047.

38
Next, lets review the processes of assigning the driver, equipment
type, and equipment to the second shipment of 01047. Lets also
review the resultant changes in the shipment due to these
assignments.

39
Prior to assigning a driver to the shipment 01047, the shipment has two stops: a
source location of Bryn Marwr, PA and a destination location of Darby, PA.
In addition, the total weighted cost, total actual cost, and planned cost were all
$12.04 and the total distance was 9.63 MI.
Keep these numbers, locations, and destinations in mind and on the next slide
lets review the same information once a driver is assigned to the shipment.
In our scenario, this shipment is meant to be the next assignment for the driver
John Scarlett. John is the driver who was assigned to the last shipment that was
just reviewed.

40
OTMs driver assignment logic determines that driver 1, John Scarlett,
is the cheapest driver solution. However, John is currently at the
Marcus Hook, DE location and he leaves that location with an empty
trailer. So OTM adds a new NFR stop of Marcus Hook, DE to the
shipment. This stop is considered the driver 1 deadhead segment.
This stop is rated using the weighted rate cost charge of 1.35 USD
per mile for any deadhead miles that the shipment or equipment
travels.
Lets look at more details of the shipment:
The Shipment ID of 01047 now includes 3 stops and has the following updated
costs:
Total weighted cost is now $65.34
Total actual cost is $37.66
Planned cost has remained the same
Note the new empty miles of 20.51 which was added to the shipment when the
new NFR stop of Marcus Hook, DE was added to the shipment.
This course will review this information several more times as the fleet
actions of assign equipment type and assign equipment are run
against the shipment. When these actions are run, the fleet shipments
are basically re-rated based upon the newly assigned equipment type
and equipment.

41
Now, lets review the same shipment after the equipment type is
assigned. The equipment type assignment logic changes the
shipment in several ways:
1. First, it assigns a 45ft equipment type to the shipment
2. Next, it checks the inventory at the Bryn Mawr location and determines that
the driver needs to drop off an empty piece of 45ft equipment at Bryn Mawr
3. The driver can bring this empty piece of equipment from the Marcus Hook, DE
location
4. Next, the logic checks the special services and determines that the driver is
picking up a pre-loaded 45ft equipment type at Bryn Mawr.
5. Finally, the logic determines that a freight unload will occur at Darby, PA.

The assignment logic does not change any of the costs on this
shipment due to the equipment type assignment. This is because no
new stops were added that could have impacted the actual cost. Also,
no inventory penalties were assessed since the inventory target levels
were not too high or too low.

42
The only change in the shipment was that the following equipment IDs were
added to the shipment:
Equipment ID, ABCZ979302, is assigned for the empty trailer which is being
brought in from Marcus Hook.
This equipment ID is dropped at Bryn Mawr.
Equipment ID, ABCZ903451, is assigned for the pickup of the pre-loaded
equipment at Bryn Mawr.

Again, the costs did not change due to the equipment assignment. The costs did
not change since the empty piece of equipment which is dropped off at Bryn
Mawr is the same as the empty equipment that was retained from the previous
shipment. And, the dropped equipment being a pre-load, so a weighted cost
penalty is not applied.

In the demonstration on the next slide, lets review exactly how the driver,
equipment type, and equipment were assigned to the shipment and then review
the resulting shipment in more detail.

43
This guided demonstration reviews how to assign the following to the
shipment 01047 (which is Bryn Mawr to Darby):
Assign driver
Assign equipment type
Assign equipment

This guided demonstration in Oracle UPK will take approximately 28


minutes to complete.

44
Next, lets review the results of the assignment of the driver,
equipment type, and equipment to the third shipment which is
shipment ID 01048.

45
Next, lets review the processes of assigning the driver, equipment
type, and equipment to the third shipment. Then, lets review the
resultant changes in the shipment due to these assignments.

46
Prior to assigning a driver to the shipment 01048, the shipment has two stops: a
source location of Morrisville Supplier, PA and a destination location of Cherry
Hill, NJ.
In addition, the total weighted cost, total actual cost, and planned cost were all
$42.05 and the total distance was 33.64 MI.
Keep these numbers, locations, and destinations in mind and on the next slide
lets review the same information once a driver is assigned to the shipment.

47
OTMs driver assignment logic determines that the driver, Joe Summer, is the
only driver that can take this shipment. That is because this shipment has a
HAZMAT special service on it and Joe is the only driver certified to drive
hazardous materials. John Scarlett would have been the more optimal driver if
the HAZMAT special service had not been assigned to the shipment.
Joes home location is Wilmington, DE and he needs to travel from home to the
pickup location of Morrisville Supplier. So OTM adds a new NFR stop to the
shipment of Joes home location of Wilmington, DE. This stop is considered the
bobtail segment. This stop is rated using the weighted rate cost of 1.50 USD per
mile for any bobtail miles that the shipment or equipment travels. Bobtail refers
to the driver and tractor, but not the freight or trailer.
Lets look in more detail at some of the changes on the shipment 01048:
There are now 3 stops on the shipment due to the addition of the NFR (non-
freight related) stop of Wilmington, DE.
The total weighted cost is now $243.00.
The total actual cost is now $138.66.
The planned cost remains the same at $42.05.
There are now empty miles of 77.29 required due to the addition of the NFR
stop.
This course will review this information several more times as the fleet actions of
assign equipment type and assign equipment are run against the shipment.
When these actions are run, the fleet shipments are basically re-rated based
upon the newly assigned equipment type and equipment.

48
OTMs equipment type assignment logic determines that the driver needs to
travel from home (which is Wilmington, DE) to the Woodbury Equipment Yard to
pick up an empty piece of equipment. So OTM adds a second NFR stop to the
shipment.
This second NFR stop is considered the deadhead segment. This stop is rated
using the weighted rate cost of 1.35 USD per mile for any deadhead miles that
the shipment/equipment travels.
Then, Joe needs to take the newly obtained empty piece of equipment to the
source location of Morrisville Supplier. Joe needs to pick up an empty piece of
equipment because the previous assignment did not retain the equipment and
the Morrisville location requires empty equipment to be brought in for the live
load.
Lets look at more details of the shipment 01048:
There is now a second NFR stop of Woodbury Equipment Yard which
brings the total number of stops to 4.
Due to this second stop, the total weighted cost has changed to $261.17.
The total actual cost has changed to $144.91.
The planned cost has not changed from $42.05.
Note the empty miles for stop 1 are 34.51 MI and the empty miles for stop 2
are 47.78 MI.
This course will review this information one more time as the fleet action of
assign equipment is run against the shipment. When this action is run, the fleet
shipment is basically re-rated based upon the newly assigned piece of
equipment.

49
OTMs equipment type assignment logic determines that the actual piece of
equipment that will be used for this shipment is ABCZ921835.
This equipment ID will be used at both the Woodbury Equipment Yard and the
Morrisville Supplier locations.
Neither the shipment costs or the empty miles changed at all as the result of the
equipment assignment.
In the demonstration on the next slide, lets review exactly how the driver,
equipment type, and equipment were assigned to the shipment and review the
resulting shipment in more detail.

50
This guided demonstration reviews how to assign the following to the
remaining shipment in the daily driver scenario:
Assign driver, equipment type, and equipment

This guided demonstration in Oracle UPK will take approximately 22


minutes to complete.

51
Next, lets review the results of the assignment of the driver,
equipment type, and equipment to the third shipment which is
shipment ID 01048.

52
Next, lets review the processes of assigning the driver, equipment
type, and equipment to the third shipment. Then, lets review the
resultant changes in the shipment due to these assignments.

53
Prior to assigning a driver to the shipment 01048, the shipment has two stops: a
source location of Morrisville Supplier, PA and a destination location of Cherry
Hill, NJ.
In addition, the total weighted cost, total actual cost, and planned cost were all
$42.05 and the total distance was 33.64 MI.
Keep these numbers, locations, and destinations in mind and on the next slide
lets review the same information once a driver is assigned to the shipment.

54
OTMs driver assignment logic determines that the driver, Joe Summer, is the
only driver that can take this shipment. That is because this shipment has a
HAZMAT special service on it and Joe is the only driver certified to drive
hazardous materials. John Scarlett would have been the more optimal driver if
the HAZMAT special service had not been assigned to the shipment.
Joes home location is Wilmington, DE and he needs to travel from home to the
pickup location of Morrisville Supplier. So OTM adds a new NFR stop to the
shipment of Joes home location of Wilmington, DE. This stop is considered the
bobtail segment. This stop is rated using the weighted rate cost of 1.50 USD per
mile for any bobtail miles that the shipment or equipment travels. Bobtail refers
to the driver and tractor, but not the freight or trailer.
Lets look in more detail at some of the changes on the shipment 01048:
There are now 3 stops on the shipment due to the addition of the NFR (non-
freight related) stop of Wilmington, DE.
The total weighted cost is now $243.00.
The total actual cost is now $138.66.
The planned cost remains the same at $42.05.
There are now empty miles of 77.29 required due to the addition of the NFR
stop.
This course will review this information several more times as the fleet actions of
assign equipment type and assign equipment are run against the shipment.
When these actions are run, the fleet shipments are basically re-rated based
upon the newly assigned equipment type and equipment.

55
OTMs equipment type assignment logic determines that the driver needs to
travel from home (which is Wilmington, DE) to the Woodbury Equipment Yard to
pick up an empty piece of equipment. So OTM adds a second NFR stop to the
shipment.
This second NFR stop is considered the deadhead segment. This stop is rated
using the weighted rate cost of 1.35 USD per mile for any deadhead miles that
the shipment/equipment travels.
Then, Joe needs to take the newly obtained empty piece of equipment to the
source location of Morrisville Supplier. Joe needs to pick up an empty piece of
equipment because the previous assignment did not retain the equipment and
the Morrisville location requires empty equipment to be brought in for the live
load.
Lets look at more details of the shipment 01048:
There is now a second NFR stop of Woodbury Equipment Yard which
brings the total number of stops to 4.
Due to this second stop, the total weighted cost has changed to $261.17.
The total actual cost has changed to $144.91.
The planned cost has not changed from $42.05.
Note the empty miles for stop 1 are 34.51 MI and the empty miles for stop 2
are 47.78 MI.
This course will review this information one more time as the fleet action of
assign equipment is run against the shipment. When this action is run, the fleet
shipment is basically re-rated based upon the newly assigned piece of
equipment.

56
OTMs equipment type assignment logic determines that the actual piece of
equipment that will be used for this shipment is ABCZ921835.
This equipment ID will be used at both the Woodbury Equipment Yard and the
Morrisville Supplier locations.
Neither the shipment costs or the empty miles changed at all as the result of the
equipment assignment.
In the demonstration on the next slide, lets review exactly how the driver,
equipment type, and equipment were assigned to the shipment and review the
resulting shipment in more detail.

57
This guided demonstration reviews how to assign the following to the
remaining shipment in the daily driver scenario:
Assign driver, equipment type, and equipment

This guided demonstration in Oracle UPK will take approximately 22


minutes to complete.

58
Next, lets review the results of the assignment of a driver to the fourth
shipment which is shipment ID 01049.

59
Next, lets review the process of assigning a driver to the shipment
01049 which is a non-fleet shipment.

60
Prior to assigning a driver to the shipment 01049, the shipment has two stops: a
source location of Philadelphia, PA and a destination location of Chicago, IL.
