A Review of Optimization Scheduling and New Research Focuses of Logistics

we have presented the main optimization scheduling issues in logistics, including the vehicle scheduling problem (VSP), the goods loading problem, the location problem, the stochastic loader problem and the logistics enterprise transportation cost problem. Some new research focuses such as third party logistics (TPL), cloud logistics and cold-chain logistics have also been discussed.
