PROBABILISTIC MODELING OF FREIGHT CONSOLIDATION BY PRIVATE CARRIAGE

摘要: Abstract A program of freight consolidation is a systematic attempt to decrease total transportation cost between given origin and destination. Fewer shipments larger weight are dispatched, while recognizing the inventory carrying holding first-arriving orders before dispatching combined load. Here we employ probabilistic modeling choose maximum time desired dispatch quantity. We obtain practical decision rules for temporal in one's own truck. Final results expressed visually through nomograph (four linked graphs) relating variables, probability demand parameters, objective-function values. The permits an intuitive sensitivity analysis.
