Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we constructed the mathematical planning model and clarified the impact of changes in delivery plans on warehouse operations by using the simulation analysis. The analysis expressed changes in delivery plans as changes in shipping frequency, and showed that the lower the shipping frequency, the shorter the transportation distance during warehouse work. Furthermore, we proposed a method to add a step to take into consideration factors that change depending on the delivery plan, such as shipping frequency.
