Delivery Cost Optimization

Delivery Cost Optimization is an analytical framework within last-mile delivery research that systematically minimizes operational expenditures—such as transportation, labor, and time-related costs—by refining routing, vehicle allocation, and delivery schedules, while distinguishing itself from broader logistics optimization through its exclusive focus on the final segment of the supply chain.
