Dispatch sequence
Order four shipments by the deadline shown. Soonest first.
What this tool does
The dispatch game shows four shipments and a deadline in days. Spare parts to Surat are due in 1 day. A cold box to Nashik is due in 2 days. A carton to Pune is due in 3 days. Returns to the vendor are due in 4 days. The correct order is soonest first: Surat, Nashik, Pune, vendor returns. The score is how many positions match that order, as a percent. One shipment in the right slot and three in the wrong slots scores 25. The game does not weigh the cartons, check a temperature logger, or know a driver's shift. The warehouse quiz says cold-chain goods follow the handling rule you were given. In this game the cold box is simply the item with deadline 2, so it goes second because of the number, not because of a temperature the page invented.
How to use it
Read the four deadlines. Put the smallest number first. Submit the order. If you sorted by city name or by the word cold, the positions will not match. Retake it and sort only by the due day. Then, on a real floor, add the handling rule your site already uses. This page cannot see that rule.
Worked example
The ids in deadline order are Spare parts to Surat, Cold box to Nashik, Carton to Pune, Returns to the vendor. Alphabetical order, Carton then Cold box then Returns then Spare parts, is a different sequence and scores only the positions that happen to coincide. Soonest first is the whole key. The jobs link on this page searches HiringBuddy for published roles matching “logistics”. An empty list means nothing published matched. It is not a comment on the wider market. A signed-in candidate can save the attempt on their profile. Saving is not an application, and it does not show the attempt to an employer. Employers see people who apply to their own jobs.
Questions
- What is the correct order?
- Surat (1 day), Nashik (2), Pune (3), vendor returns (4).
- Does the cold box jump the queue?
- Only because its deadline is 2, which is second-soonest. The page does not add a temperature priority on top.
- Is this a route planner?
- No. It sorts four visible deadlines. It does not know distance or traffic.
