Optimization of Cargo Loading In SCM Operations Using Mathematical Model

Abstract

The process of efficiently and safely moving goods into vehicles or containers is known as "cargo loading" in Supply Chain Management (SCM). In order to avoid damage and guarantee a pleasant trip, this involves loading, unloading, and securing cargo. According to Supply Chain Management (SCM), cargo loading is the act of efficiently and safely packing goods onto transportation trucks while ensuring proper stowage and minimizing possible damage or delays. Cargo loading, the process of transferring goods from a warehouse or terminal onto trucks, railroads, ships, or airplanes, is a crucial link in the logistics chain. An attempt has been made in this study to create a mathematical model for the cargo loading environment using a linear programming paradigm. The goal is to reduce the cost of transportation while taking into account material demand, weight, and capacity.
