Abstract

The availability of news and reading online through smartphones, tablets and computers has reduced the sale of newspapers in the world. On the other hand, the logistics express cargo (characteristic of e-commerce models) grows every day making use of optimised outsourced resources. This study aims to develop a model for planning the shared physical distribution of newspapers and e-commerce products for use in the logistics operator. Its resolution will be performed by discrete optimisation (vehicles and entire cargo) through integer linear programming, through mathematical modelling and processing in MATLAB, in which scenarios of outsourcing physical distribution are analysed, taking into consideration the impact of an increase in demand coming in profitability, penalties revenue by charging postponements, cost variations by including extra fleet, introduction of contractual penalty for not carrying any product, and tests with varying postponement times of shipments.
