Timetable Management & Rostering
Ambulance
Victoria
Ambulance Victoria engaged Opturion for a project with four key deliverables, including the creation of shift pattern options that had the lowest acceptable fatigue risk levels and that followed work guidelines developed by the Alertness CRC.
NORTH WESTERN PROGRAM ALLIANce
Due to their intensive, time-critical projects NWPA required a comprehensive fatigue risk management system that included roster scheduling software to design, assess and manage rosters.
METRO TRAINS
mELBOURNE
Opturion's analysis showed unacceptable levels of fatigue risk associated with current shift patterns and identified new patterns that minimised fatigue risk levels and reduced penalty payments.

University
Opturion created a rostering system for Monash Universities casual exam invigilator workforce. The goal of the system was to generate a roster which maximised coverage of exams whilst satisfying certain constraints.
dYNAMIC TRANSPORT oPTIMISATION
Alternative Freight Services aimed to minimise the long term impacts brought by freight costs, inefficient internal freight and supply chain processes. They approached Opturion in the hopes of integrating our DTO with their existing platform.
John L. Pierce looked to enhance the company’s transport service through strategic relationships with suppliers, customers, and staff. Opturion have installed a DTO that enables greater efficiency & guaranteed compliance with safety and other regulations.

eXPRESS
Opturion was tasked with developing an optimiser that assisted Allied Express' operators in their decision process, so that they make better decisions quicker and maintain or improve on-time performance (customer service).
Opturion was contracted to model a supermarket network, which is comprised of separate temperature controlled components. The objective was to look at options within the operating model and determine the potential benefits.
AUSTRAL
BRICKS
To further improve on their production efficiency, Austral sought out Opturion’s services to create a DTO based on a model of their route optimisation problem, which contains the decisions needed to generate a schedule.

Royal Automobile Club of Victoria
In order for RACV to be efficient and deliver customer service levels, Opturion created a new forecasting tool based on Artificial Intelligence. The forecasting tool was shown to be more than 95% accurate.
Mobile workforce Optimisation
Opturion was tasked with developing an integratable software (Opturion is run on the cloud) that provided additional decision support capabilities to increase the efficiency of the existing booking system instead of replacing it.
Logistics Optimisation
