In practice, companies hire specialized transporters to conduct
their shipments to destination points. In order to reduce costs,
the transporters perform cargo delivery coming from different
companies, making the definition of routes fairly complex. Thus,
an optimizer integrated with tracking and tracing system would
provide significant benefits for the whole supply chain. This would
qualify the logistics operation and minimize the error rate, allowing
companies to reduce their costs and remain competitive and
profitable. In addition, there are studies in the literature that aim
to optimize deliveries (Diao & Heching, 2011; Shirazi, Hu, Singh,
Squillante, & Mojsilovic, 2009; Yefu & Zaiyue, 2010). However,
none of the related works considered supports deliveries integrated
with the monitoring system.
