The charts below compare the quality of a sequence generated by a 'one
pass' method such as a greedy algorithm or 'place next' logic to the
quality of the Optessa
MLS sequence.
Let us compare the sequencing of 1200 units- cars,
for instance- with a combination of rules relating to run lengths,
color changeover, even distribution and sliding window average. Here is
the chart for the one pass sequence:
One Pass Sequence
As you can see, the 'one
pass' algorithm generates a sequence of uneven quality. The penalty
spikes in the chart show how the sequence can lead to significant
violations. Now take a look at the sequence of the same 1200 units
generated by Optessa MLS.
Optessa MLS Sequence
This is a much superior
sequence. The quality of the sequence is even throughout without any
spikes; moreover, the total penalty cost is lower as well.
