Workshop: Advancements in on-demand city logistics
11 November 2021 16:57 - By: Webredactie | Add to my calendar
In this one-day event, we bring our academic and industrial partners together. We will discuss about the current obstacles city logistic companies face vis-à-vis their customers given the available resources. The current scientific state-of-the-art will be shared by our world-renowned guests from inside and outside the Netherlands. This workshop highlights the ending of CUSTOMIZE project whose results will be presented by our research team.
About the CUSTOMIZE project
This research project introduces a novel decision-making framework to address the challenges faced by on-demand logistics systems. Having a precise demand forecast is the key success for the operation. We first forecast demand at the micro-level. The predictability of our model is enhanced by using data from industrial partners. Thereafter, we integrate our demand forecasting tool into the prescriptive model. The model provides different strategies to position resources in real-time. The development of the prescriptive model is an innovative solution to bridge data-analytics and systems operations. In this project, we collaborated with two industrial partners:
- Thuisbezorgd.nl is an on-demand logistics provider which is operated in the food industry. Our developed approach uses real-time data and provides a planning approach for its operation.
- Post-NL provides home healthcare supply which is provided by health-care organizations. Our proposed forecasting model and the resolution approach enable them to improve their services considering the behavioral aspect of the patients (e.g., satisfaction from the logistics service) and promote the usage of home healthcare services.
