Optimizing Package Express Operations in China

We explore optimization models to support the planning and operations functions at package express carriers in China. The models simultaneously consider ground and air transportation, company-owned and purchased capacity, multiple service products, and shipments becoming available throughout the day. An extensive computational study using real-life data shows the efficacy of the models, provides insights into the structure of effective express service networks, and analyzes the benefits of operational efficiency improvements on performance.
