Abstract

The present review paper provides a systematic insight into the studies published so far when it comes to the research on the cost and performance optimisation in the parcel delivery phase. Globalisation, as well as the new trends, such as selling online, directly influences the demands for the delivery of goods. Demand for the delivery of goods proportionally affects the transport prices. A great majority of deliveries is carried out in densely populated urban areas. In terms of costs, the greatest part in the courier organisations costs is observed in the technological phase of parcel delivery, which is at the same time the least efficient. For that reason, significant improvement of performance and cost optimisation in the very delivery phase is a rather challenging field for the researchers. New algorithm-based technologies, innovations in the logistics and outsourcing of individual technological phases are ways by means of which one strives to enhance the delivery efficiency, to improve performance and quality, but also to optimise the costs in the last phase of delivery. The aim of the present paper is to offer a systematic review into the most recent research in the field of technology, innovations and outsourcing models with the aim of reducing the cost and enhancing the productivity and quality in parcel delivery.

包裹递送技术阶段的成本和性能优化——文献综述

目前的审查文件提供了一个系统的洞察到研究发表到目前为止，当它涉及到在包裹交付阶段的成本和性能优化的研究。全球化，以及网上销售等新趋势，直接影响了对货物交付的需求。对货物交付的需求成比例地影响运输价格。绝大多数的递送是在人口稠密的城市地区进行的。在成本方面，快递组织成本中最大的一部分是在包裹递送的技术阶段，同时也是效率最低的。因此，对研究人员来说，在交付阶段显著提高性能和优化成本是一个相当具有挑战性的领域。新的基于算法的技术、物流的创新和个别技术阶段的外包，都是人们努力提高交付效率、改善性能和质量，同时也在交付的最后阶段优化成本的方法。本文的目的是提供一个系统的审查到最新的研究领域的技术，创新和外包模式的目的是降低成本，提高生产力和质量的包裹交付。
