Abstract:

Using optimization to design distribution systems became technically feasible a little more than two decades ago, and developments have occurred at a rapid rate ever since. These developments can be understood in terms of six evolutionary processes. Four are core: evolution of algorithms, data development tools, model features and software capabilities, and how companies actually use software for designing distribution systems. The other two are environmental: evolution of logistics as a corporate function and of computer and communications technology.
