An example of optimization is route optimization in delivery services.
Scenario:
A logistics company like UPS or FedEx needs to deliver hundreds of packages daily. If drivers take inefficient routes, they waste fuel, time, and money.
Optimization Process:
- The company uses route optimization software that analyzes factors like traffic, distance, and delivery deadlines.
- The software suggests the shortest and fastest route for each driver.
- This reduces fuel consumption, delivery time, and costs while improving customer satisfaction.
Result:
By optimizing routes, the company delivers more packages in less time, saves money on fuel, and reduces its environmental impact.
