Abstract:With the development of logistics, the delayed distribution problem based on a compensation mechanism has appeared. The core of this problem is to decide whether to delay the distribution at the beginning of each stage and how to compensate the customers if delay occurs. In this paper, beginning with the 2 and 3-stage delay distribution problem, the characteristics and computational complexity of the model are analyzed, and a formal model description of the n-stage problem is given. The expected value and vari… Show more
