Abstract

[Service zones design is a crucial step in optimizing express delivery services which simplify the planning of everyday distribution routes while favoring the driver familiarity with the delivery zone. We describe a Decision Support System (DSS) for the definition of service zones based on an advanced multi-attribute clustering algorithm. The DSS has been used successfully by a major provider in The Netherlands to support the redesign of its distribution system for express parcel delivery.]
