The basic purpose of our research is to study the application of operations research in e-commerce homedelivery. It has been observed that most of the transportation costs occur on the supplier’s side and so there is a need fora model different than the traditional manufacturer- wholesaler- retailer. To tackle the problem of failed deliveries, wehave figured out alternatives like – change in time, change in location and change in routes. We have also discussed theneed for pick-up service points which can be helpful in providing flexibility and would also help companies to reducefailed deliveries as packages can be picked up as per the convenience of the buyer. In this paper, we have tried toprovide alternatives to the service providers so that their cost can be optimized efficiently.
