*The e-commerce boom raises new challenges as retailers and couriers
innovate their supply chains to keep up with demand. Last-mile delivery,
the segment which starts at the last distribution centre and ends at the
customer's doorstep, is particularly affected: couriers now handle many
small parcels instead of fewer, larger shipments; they deliver during tight
time windows when customers are at home; they deal in real-time with newly
incoming orders while their fleet is already busy shipping other parcels.
The volume growth in deliveries has also raised concerns, especially in
dense urban environments where the externalities (traffic, emissions,
noise, congestion) have become noticeable.*
*Some major challenges of Operations Research for sustainable last-mile
delivery involve the optimization of dynamic routing and scheduling to
minimize fuel consumption and emissions, managing vehicle fleets
efficiently to balance environmental impact and service quality,
integrating sustainability metrics into decision-making processes while
addressing urban infrastructure constraints and integrating public
transport (buses, trams or subway) within last-mile delivery systems.*
*Join us for an in-depth workshop to discover these and other challenges on
Operations Research for Sustainable Last-mile Delivery.*
