论文摘要
印度电子商务行业在过去十年中发展了，预计将在未来几年内增长。由于许多第三方物流提供商的出现和更高的客户期望，重点已经转变为周转时间（TAT）。交付提供商的主要考虑因素是平衡其整体运营成本，同时向客户满足应许的TAT。电子商务交付合作伙伴通过设施网络运营，其战略地点有助于有效地运营运营。在这项工作中，我们确定了全国枢纽的位置及其与分销中心的相应映射。目的是通过遵守TAT的依从性最大程度地降低整个网络成本。我们使用遗传算法并利用业务限制来减少解决方案搜索空间，从而减少解决方案时间。结果表明，与当前情况相比，TAT依从性的提高了9.73％。
Indian e-commerce industry has evolved over the last decade and is expected to grow over the next few years. The focus has now shifted to turnaround time (TAT) due to the emergence of many third-party logistics providers and higher customer expectations. The key consideration for delivery providers is to balance their overall operating costs while meeting the promised TAT to their customers. E-commerce delivery partners operate through a network of facilities whose strategic locations help to run the operations efficiently. In this work, we identify the locations of hubs throughout the country and their corresponding mapping with the distribution centers. The objective is to minimize the total network costs with TAT adherence. We use Genetic Algorithm and leverage business constraints to reduce the solution search space and hence the solution time. The results indicate an improvement of 9.73% in TAT compliance compared with the current scenario.
