| Description: | The UPS NAAFN team members included Jessel Dhabliwala, Megan Patrick, Tom Pelling, Nathan Petty, Vikas Venugopal, and Selin Yilmaz with adviser Alan Erera. In their project titled, Truck Scheduling for the North American Air Freight Network (NAAFN) Division of United Parcel Service (UPS), the team developed new methods for scheduling truck capacity for the NAAFN, minimizing total weekly scheduled and unscheduled trucking costs. Currently, truckload schedules are derived from average weekly demand. In this project, methodology was first developed to estimate day-of-week truckload demand distributions for all lanes. Stochastic scheduling models were then developed to determine truck schedules minimizing expected weekly costs. Results indicate that the new truck schedules may yield cost savings of 10%, or $6M annually. |
