UPS: New-Gen Network Planning
UPS leadership sought a new-generation logistics network, one that is smart, integrated, flexible and global. Princeton Consultants led the highly successful design and development of the Core Simulation Capability for the UPS “NPT” (Network Planning Tool) for its linehaul operations. An executive observed, “The beauty of NPT, however, is not just its algorithm; rather, it’s that the app empowers human engineers to make better decisions.”
Results
- Efficiently routing and rerouting package flows using a series of sophisticated algorithms.
- NPT moves volume to lower-cost transportation modes to optimize margins without affecting service.
