ABSTRACT

In Logistics services, many different transportation tools such as trucks,

airplanes and ships are available. Different choices of routes and transportation
tools will lead to different costs. To minimize cost, we should consider goods
consolidation (Occasions when different goods sharea journey together.),
different transportation costs and delivery time constraints etc. This projectwe
uses mathematical programming to model such situation and solves for overall
cost minimization solution. The model construction offers options of two
mathematical programming frameworks, DOcplex and CVXPY.

DOcplex is a commercial programming framework developed by IBM, which

directly calls the CPLEX solver. CVXPY is an open-source programming
framework originally developed by a Stanford research team. With this option,
we can choose from a list of solvers integrated by CVXPY framework, CBC
solver is recommended for this model.
 INTRODUCTION

Logistics has become the core infrastructure for urban development with the
gradual development of smart cities worldwide In delivery services, many
different transportation tools such as trucks, airplanes and ships are available.
Different choices of routes and transportation tools will lead to different costs.
To minimize cost, we should consider goods consolidation Occasions when
different goods share a journey together. different transportation costs and
delivery time constraints.

Distribution is a vital link to modern logistics, playing an increasingly

significant role in the entire logistics system with its globalization and
Information Distribution connects production and consumption.

We will use mathematical programming to model such situations and solve for
overall cost minimization. By setting a given set of constraints to a problem.
PROBLEM STATEMENT

Consider there are 8 goods, 4 cities (Shanghai, Wuxi, Singapore, Malaysia), 16

ports and 4transportation tools. The 8 goods originate from different cities and
have different destinations.

Each city has 4 ports, the airport, railway station, seaport and warehouse. There
are in total 50 directroutes connecting different ports.

Each route has a specific transportation tool, transportation cost, transit time and
weekly schedule.

Warehouse in each city allows goods to be deposited for a period to fit certain
transportation schedules or wait for other goods to be transported together. All
goods might have different order dates and different delivery deadlines.

how can we find out solution routes for all goods that minimize the overall cost?

OBJECTIVES

Finding The Optimal Path of Transport for each Category

Computing the optimal cost of transportation, Warehouse, and taxes

Finding the best possible routes of goods w.r.t the cost, time constraint and
goods size
