dc.description.abstract | Under the current market economic conditions, logistics cost has become the major factor that determines the operation and circulation cost of the logistics company. However, the logistics distribution has occupied 13%~75% ( Devari et al., 2006 ) of the whole supply chain, if the distribution part can be improved, it will produce positive effects and reduce wastage costs. Meanwhile, if Taiwan’s logistic companies could introduce the moving mobile parcel to conduct the path planning and timeline planning of pick-up and delivery service. It could reduce carbon emission, labor costs and improve the efficiency of cargo distribution. Moreover, the security problem of the human-driven traditional truck will be improved and the human recourse allocation problem will no longer be restricted by the Labor Standards Act.
Hence, this research is considering the fleet of moving mobile parcel, consider the relevant conditions and use the time-space flow to minimize the operation costs, then build a model of moving mobile parcel time schedule. The model of time scheduling could assist companies to maximize the efficiency of smart moving mobile parcel scheduling. This research will use both CPLEX mathematical program and heuristic algorithm to solve it. To evaluate the practicality of the model, this research will apply the data of a logistics company in Taoyuan City as an example to analyze, and use different parameters to conduct sensitivity analysis. The result shows that the model and heuristic solution is effective. This research could provide the solution for companies with the delivery schedule of moving mobile parcel. | en_US |
