Logistics Optimisation After Brexit and COVID-19

最近发生的两起事件严重影响了后勤业务。英国脱欧导致需求低迷，贸易减少，英国之间的货物运输减少。和欧盟它还导致了强制性边境检查、港口延误以及对司机可用性和操作熟练度的担忧。COVID-19爆发为物流公司带来高成本和中断。由于员工人数减少或难以维持工作场所的安全，许多企业在COVID-19限制下难以运营。供应链中需求的显著下降和成本和不确定性的增加将显著影响物流运输所有部门的有效性，效率，公平性和成本，并需要整合到物流管理中。该项目将利用专业机构CILT（英国）的工业知识，物流管理。结合数学建模和算法工程的基础研究，我们将近似最佳路线，包装，调度，交付和物流管理的其他方面。随着这一领域效率的提高，我们将支持英国的需求。企业，提高他们的竞争力，刺激新兴市场的经济增长，提高人们的生活质量。

Two recent events have significantly affected logistics operations. Brexit has resulted in depressed demand, reduced trade, and fewer goods moving between the U.K. and E.U. It has also led to mandatory border checks, delays at ports, and concerns over drivers' availability and proficiency in operating. The COVID-19 outbreak has generated high costs and disruptions for logistics companies. Many businesses are struggling to operate under COVID-19 restrictions due to a reduced workforce or difficulty maintaining safety in the workplace. The combination of significantly depressed demand and increased cost and uncertainty within supply chains will significantly impact the effectiveness, efficiency, fairness, and costs of all sectors of logistics transportation, and need to be integrated into logistics management. This project will leverage the industrial knowledge of the professional body, CILT(U.K.), in logistics management. Combined with fundamental research in mathematical modelling and algorithmic engineering, we will approximate the optimal routing, packing, scheduling, delivery, and other aspects of logistics management. With better efficiency in this sector, we will support the needs of U.K. businesses, boost their competitiveness, stimulate economic growth in emerging markets, and improve people's quality of life.
