Summary:
The varying distances of customer locations from fulfillment centers and the diverse density of geographical service areas pose challenges in achieving service equity for Same-Day Delivery (SDD). Major SDD providers often prioritize operational profitability over equity across different neighborhoods in large cities. Our project uses Markov Decision Process and simulation to assist SDD providers in designing policies that optimize for both operational profitability and equity.
