Optimizing allocation in a warehouse network
Abstract
We study the allocation problem faced by an international retail company operating e-commerce: the firm wants to determine the initial allocation of goods to warehouses, so as to provide customers in local markets with high level of service. We represent the movement of goods through the warehouse network to the customers using linear and quadratic integer programming models, and provide a computational evaluation using real data.
