Abstract

Methods and systems for optimizing a ship-from-shore process are provided. A decision model receives forecasted demand and node data representing a plurality of possible shipping node configurations. The decision model generates output data that includes an assignment of the forecasted demand to nodes among the plurality of nodes based on the shipping cost data and the node data while optimizing a supply chain objective subject to a plurality of constraints, the plurality of constraints including a fulfillment of the forecasted demand within a predetermined delivery service level, and identifies an optimal configuration for each shipping node. In some aspects, the decision model segments the node data to improve efficiency of analysis.
