 Total Costs

Definition

Costs that the system minimizes during optimization .

Structure

The total costs comprise the following costs:

  • Fixed transportation costs

  • Variable transportation costs for each unit for the dimensions duration, distance, stop-offs, and transported quantity/distance

  • Earliness costs

  • Lateness costs

  • Costs for non-delivery

  • Load costs

You define these costs in the cost profile . You can also find more information there.

Before the optimization run starts, you can influence the weighting of these costs by specifying a factor.
