This document outlines the fundamentals of mapping and density analysis in logistics. It discusses the current methodology, which involves creating density studies from freight bills, leading to the generation of grid records for visual mapping. Emphasizing a new approach, it illustrates how to export these grid records to Digital Mapping tools like MapInfo, enabling the creation of optimized routes. Furthermore, it highlights the potential for improved efficiency, estimating an additional 10% increase in delivery stops per driver through enhanced routing strategies.

Mapping and Density • Basics: • Maps divided by Grids. • Grids grouped together based on Density to form Routes. • Grids sequenced within Route for efficiency in loading and routing.
Current Approach: Create Density Study from Freight Bills or Old Calls. Create Grid Records from Density Study. View Grid Records and apply to grids on maps. New Approach: Export Grid Records to MapInfo. Create Routes using Digital Maps as a Mapping Tool. Mapping and Density
GridRecs: Display of Daily Delivery and Pickup Stops per Grid.
Example: Standard is 18 stops per driver. Due to more efficient routing, we will estimate approx. 10% increase in stops (Total of 20 for a route). 8 PU STOPS PLUS 2 ADDITIONAL PU STOPS. 10 DEL. STOPS 10 PU STOPS
