5. Optimization (advanced tasks)

You have successfully displayed the state of your planning factory in ipolog 4 Material Flow. Next, your goal is to identify and evaluate potential for improvement. 

To do this, first copy your entire project in the home screen of ipolog 4 Material Flow. More information on how to work with scenarios can be found in the helpdesk entry on scenarios. 

Open your new project so that you can make changes without the changes affecting the current status. You can immediately compare the effects of your changes with the previous planning status by means of a project comparison. 

In the next task, you will perform a route reconfiguration and work with the forklift groups. 

Further starting points and possibilities for optimization in your project can involve the following topics: 

• Adjusting area allocation to optimize the utilization of areas 
• Utilizing the means of transport 
• Fixed route timing vs. dynamic departure times 
• Changing routes, vehicle parameters or adjusting grouping chains or empties processes 

Save your progress.
