The 'Last Mile' Problem: New Optimization Algorithms You Need to Know

Описание: That feeling when your package is just miles away, yet takes forever to arrive? That's the Last Mile Problem—the single most complex and expensive step in the entire supply chain.

In this video, we expose why the final leg of delivery consumes over 50% of the total shipping cost, turning the simplest drop-off into a logistical nightmare. We break down the compounding challenges—from urban congestion and high fuel costs to the inefficiency of failed deliveries—and show why old methods just can't keep up.

The solution? Advanced algorithms. Discover how Metaheuristics (like the Genetic Algorithm) and Machine Learning are being combined to build an intelligent, adaptive delivery system that is already saving major e-commerce players millions of dollars.

The future of logistics is smarter, faster, and more efficient. Will a perfectly timed, zero-error delivery become the new normal?
