Use a simplified FMEA to identify and control route failure modes before dispatch.
The dispatcher must release two trucks without letting a charity cutoff, early crew departure, or heavy-item job break the route. FMEA route scan: function → failure mode → effect → priority → control The common shortcut is routing only by map distance. Geography matters, but it misses operational failure modes such as facility cutoffs, crew capacity, and hard-to-detect access constraints.
