OPTIMISATION OF FREIGHT DISTRIBUTION NETWORK

Abstract

Freight transportation increases the value of goods by moving them to locations where they worth more and encourages competition and production by extending the spatial boundaries of commodity and labour markets. This study presents various ways to optimize freight transportation cost-efficiently by designing the routes of the trucks in which the freight will be transported, improving the fill rates so that transportation cost is minimized, and profit is maximized, which will ultimately lead to contribute in improving the economy of our country.
