Abstract

Abstract: To provide superior on-line shopping experiences and maintain sustained profitability,e-commerce logistics companies need design an effective dispatching wave policy strategy to handle the tradeoff between the advantage of economies of scale and fast-pace delivery services.A multi-agent-based simulation framework is proposed,where business processes in logistics are built as different nodes in the simulation network.Case studies are conducted to test the order delivery process with various wave strategies in the Beijing metropolitan area.Experimental results show that situation-dependent wave strategies are sensitive to different patterns of online shopping demands.
