Providing a delivery service requires order management at the stocking location\u0026nbsp;(depot), including request acceptance and processing; and order distribution from the depot to final customer locations,\u0026nbsp;including order dispatch and delivery via vehicle routes. In SDD these processes are highly interrelated, are\u0026nbsp;simultaneously executed, and have a high degree of information dynamism.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this thesis, we formulate and solve dynamic optimization problems to improve the operation of SDD systems.\u0026nbsp;We study how our approaches perform over computationally simulated instances and provide managerial insights for\u0026nbsp;SDD practitioners, including structural solution properties that any common SDD service should have, the trade-offs\u0026nbsp;between common SDD objectives, and the logistics cost of operational constraints in SDD.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":" DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION FOR SAME-DAY DELIVERY OPERATIONS"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2016-11-02 13:12:08","changed_gmt":"2016-11-02 13:12:08","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2016-11-08T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2016-11-08T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2016-11-08T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2016-11-08 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2016-11-08 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2016-11-08 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
