  • Identifying requisitions to be delivered on or after the particular date to the particular destination from the same vendor;

    Organizing the identified requisitions in a chronological order beginning with the particular date;

    Beginning with the first requisition in the chronological order and considering subsequent requisitions in chronological order, organizing the requisitions into loads by consolidating at least some of the requisitions to create one or more optimized loads and/or a partial load;

    When the consolidated requisitions result in a partial load, consolidating at least one or more of the requisitions subsequent to the requisition corresponding to the partial load until an optimized load is determined thereby creating a delivery schedule of optimized loads consolidated from the requisitions.
