Abstract

Postal service providers can reorganize the last-mile delivery process within the scope of universal service and apply some of the flexible models for the organization of the delivery process. In this paper, the question of the selection of Flexible Last-Mile Delivery Models (FLMDM) is treated using multicriteria decision-making. We have identified four different sustainable models of last-mile delivery with an emphasis on the number of delivery workers. One postal service provider from Europe was selected, where proposed FLMDM are tested. The proposed last-mile delivery models are ranked using Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) technique. In this context, MCDA techniques are used to make a comparative assessment of alternatives. This paper aims to find the optimal delivery costs in each variant of the delivery model - an optimal number of workers for the last-mile delivery. The obtained results suggest the AB delivery model as the optimal choice for the last-mile delivery. Also, results ensure the complete allocation of the required number of technological workers in the delivery (the number of delivery workers), by applying the originally proposed, flexible solution (models) for the organization of last-mile delivery.

采用多标准决策选择灵活的最后一英里交付模式

邮政服务提供者可以在普遍服务范围内重新组织最后一英里的投递过程，并应用一些灵活的模式来组织投递过程。本文采用多准则决策的方法研究了柔性最后一英里配送模式的选择问题。我们已经确定了四种不同的可持续的最后一英里配送模式，重点是配送工人的数量。选择了欧洲的一家邮政服务提供商，在那里对拟议的FLMDM进行了测试。使用多标准决策分析(MCDA)技术对提出的最后一英里交付模式进行排名。在这种情况下，MCDA技术用于对备选方案进行比较评估。本文的目的是找出每种配送模式下的最优配送成本——最后一英里配送的最优工人数量。结果表明，AB配送模式是最后一英里配送的最优选择。此外，通过应用最初提出的组织最后一英里交付的灵活解决方案(模型)，结果确保了交付中所需技术工人数量(交付工人数量)的完整分配。
