| Description: | The UPS Direct Ship team members included Katie Buckler, Carlanna Cunningham, Jay Hennington, Kevin Kitchens, Patrick Odneal, and Richard Ward with adviser Joel Sokol. In their project titled, Design and Implementation of Auctions for Constrained Third-Party Carrier Networks at UPS, the team recommended constrained combinatorial auctions to determine which third-party carrier should service each land of UPS's Direct Ship network. The team's computer application awards lanes to carriers while meeting UPS's need to increase on-time performance, use fewer carriers, and balance carrier assignments. It also lets UPS compare multiple scenarios, add custom constraints, and identify bids where negotiation is most valuable. The project should save UPS approximately $1.3 million/year and improve customer and carrier satisfaction. |
