Balancing the no of request tasks send to PSO

Hi ​@INTHSL 
mostly one of these should work for you

Option 1: Use Scheduling Constraints in PSO to Balance Requests

IFS PSO allows setting constraints that prevent scheduling too many tasks for the same driver on a given day.

Steps:

1. Go to PSO Configuration → Scheduling Rules
2. Enable Load Balancing Constraint:
   • Set max number of tasks per driver per day.
   • Adjust scheduling flexibility to allow shifting tasks within the customer’s requested timeframe.
3. Use the ‘Preferred Days’ Rule:
   • Set a rule to spread deliveries evenly within the available week.
4. Save & Apply the configuration.

this is best for: Companies using PSO’s built-in logic for workload balancing.

Option 2: Use Time-Slot Optimization & Route Clustering

Since the driver is going on the same route repeatedly, the PSO Route Optimization Engine can help group deliveries efficiently.

Steps:

1. Enable ‘Route Optimization’ in PSO:
   • Group deliveries based on common locations.
   • Reduce unnecessary travel time between stops.
2. Adjust Scheduling Time Slots:
   • Instead of assigning all deliveries to the earliest slot, allow PSO to distribute them across available time slots.
3. Apply a Custom Scheduling Algorithm:
   • If needed, customize the scheduling logic via PSO API or IFS Business Rules to enforce better balancing.

this is best for: Companies that want efficient route planning to reduce driver workload on peak days.

Thanks, I will try for both, I think option 2 will work. 

Just curious - is this a response from ChatGPT? Just 2 examples:

What is a “Preferred Days” rule and how is it supposed to work?

“customize the scheduling logic via PSO API or IFS Business Rules” - how would that work?

yes, these options are not available
