Airfreight optimization modelAbstract
The transportation needs of today’s societies have gone far beyond the ones of the past
century, with the globalization of trade having led to a market that meets no borders.
Modern Logistics networks aim to cover these needs, which many times, due to their
complexity, demand special handling and quick response. Such transportation problems
can be represented via mathematical models, in order to enable finding the optimized
way to proceed with, utilizing Liner Programming methods. Through the analysis of
transferring ship spares to be delivered onboard vessels, a model of airfreight transfers
can be created, aiming to find the optimized scenario given the objective that has been
set, such as minimizing the costs of each operation.
