Timetabling hub-and-spoke parcel distribution inter-facility network by Ben-Ayed, Omar

“…The resolving of the problem highly depends on the ability of the analyst to develop intelligent ways to limit the values of decision variables. The model applied to a real-world case is entered in a spreadsheet where the objective function is evaluated for the possible decision variable values; the timetable generated for a newly designed hub-and-spoke network decreased shipping time by around 30% as compared to the timetable of the existing design.…”
