[0038] Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be defined by the claims set forth below as well as equivalents thereof.

[0040] FIG. 1 is a drawing for explaining a delivery integrated management system according to one embodiment.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, a delivery integrated management system (100) according to one embodiment can increase delivery efficiency and reduce costs by determining an integrated delivery cycle (i.e., an optimal delivery cycle) based on a time-based shipment integration policy, thereby establishing an efficient transportation plan and efficiently utilizing resources to minimize delivery time.

[0042] In addition, the delivery integrated management system (100) can provide an optimized route for each buyer by taking into account the buyer's location, thereby increasing customer satisfaction by delivering products to customers (i.e., buyers) as quickly and accurately as possible, and can increase repurchase rates and brand trust, and the supplier of goods can strengthen competitiveness in the market by providing customer-centric services.

[0043] Specifically, the shipment consolidation management system (100) can determine optimal shipping costs and shipping cycles by utilizing the shipment consolidation process and the pricing process and considering the importance of the buyer's location, thereby allowing the supplier to maximize long-term profits by providing each buyer with an optimized price and arrival time, and can maximize efficiency in the logistics and transportation sectors by effectively solving routing problems through the development of this methodology.

[0044] To this end, the delivery integrated management system (100) may include a data collection unit (110), a parameter derivation unit (120), and a delivery control unit (130).

[0045] A data collection unit (110) according to one embodiment can collect demand data from multiple buyers for at least one item.

[0046] For example, the buyer refers to a dental clinic, and at least one item may refer to an item used in a dental clinic, but is not limited thereto.

[0047] To give a more specific example, if the buyer is a dentist, the demand data may include at least one of the following information as shown in Table 1: 'number of dentists', 'total demand', 'monthly average demand', and 'daily average demand', but the demand data is not limited to this and may further include information necessary for deriving the delivery parameters described below (e.g., price information by item).

[0048]

[0050] A parameter derivation unit (120) according to one embodiment can derive delivery parameters based on demand data.

[0051] According to one side, the parameter derivation unit (120) can derive a delivery parameter corresponding to at least one of the demand quantity for goods, the price for goods, fixed processing costs, delivery costs, the working hours of drivers, the capacity of delivery vehicles, and demand sensitivity.

[0052] For example, the parameter derivation unit (120) can calculate demand sensitivity based on the order cycle and delivery costs, etc., based on existing demand data stored in advance, using order quantity information and price information for each item included in the demand data.

[0053] Preferably, the parameter derivation unit (120) can derive the parameters described below through Formulas 1 to 8 as delivery parameters.

[0054] A delivery control unit (130) according to one embodiment can calculate total revenue and total cost corresponding to demand data based on delivery parameters, and determine an integrated delivery cycle corresponding to demand data by considering total revenue and total cost.

[0055] For example, the delivery control unit (130) can determine the optimal integrated delivery cycle by applying a repair model (hereinafter, Equations 1 to 8) to determine the price based on the customer's demand sensitivity and delivery time, and by considering the total revenue and total cost based on the determination result.

[0056] Specifically, the delivery control unit (130) can calculate total revenue based on a preset demand function and a preset price function, calculate total cost based on the demand function and demand generated in a preset dispatch cycle, and determine an optimal integrated delivery cycle through calculations based on total revenue, total cost and dispatch cycle.

[0057] More specifically, the delivery control unit (130) can determine the optimal integrated delivery cycle through the following formula 1 based on total revenue, total cost and delivery cycle.

[0058] [Formula 1]

[0059]

[0060] Here, long-term profit, is total revenue, is the total cost, means the dispatch cycle.

[0061] In other words, the delivery control unit (130) is for long-term profit ( You can determine the integrated delivery cycle that maximizes ).

[0062] The delivery control unit (130) can calculate the total profit through the following formula 2.

[0063] [Formula 2]

[0064]

[0065] Here, is the demand function, represents the price function.

[0066] Additionally, the delivery control unit (130) can calculate the total cost based on at least one of a demand function, demand generated in the dispatch cycle, a fixed handling cost per dispatch cycle, a handling cost per item, the capacity of the delivery vehicle, the inventory maintenance cost of the item, the delivery cost of the item, and the transfer time of the item, and preferably, the delivery control unit (130) can calculate the total cost through the following formula 3.

[0067] [Formula 3]

[0068]

[0069] Here, is the buyer, is the dispatch cycle ( ) Star fixed processing costs, is the processing cost per unit product, is the capacity (capacity) of the delivery vehicle, is the inventory / holding cost per unit of time and per unit of product, is the dispatch cycle ( Demand in ), is delivery costs per unit of time and per unit of product, represents the time when the goods are transported to buyer i (i.e., the time when the goods arrive at the buyer - the time when transport using a delivery vehicle begins).

[0070] For example, the demand function ( ) is the buyer's maximum potential demand ( ), demand sensitivity to price( ), pre-set price function( ), pre-set lead time( ) and time required( Demand sensitivity to ) It may be a function that performs an operation based on at least one of ), and preferably a demand function ( ) can be derived through the following Equation 4.

[0071] [Equation 4]

[0072]

[0073] Also, the price function ( ) is the buyer's base price( ), sensitivity to delivery waiting time( ), time taken( ), price sensitivity to delivery time( Buyer ( from the location of ) and supplier (0) Distance to the location of ) It may be a function that performs an operation based on at least one of ), and preferably a price function ( ) can be derived through the following Equation 5.

[0074] [Formula 5]

[0075]

[0076] Also, the time required ( ) is the dispatch cycle ( ), item transport time( ) and the start time of product delivery( It can be calculated through an operation based on at least one of ), and preferably the time required ( ) can be derived through the following Equation 6.

[0077] [Equation 6]

[0078]

[0079] Also, the dispatch cycle ( Demand in ) ) can be derived through the following Equation 7.

[0080] [Equation 7]

[0081]

[0082] According to one side, the delivery control unit (130) can determine an optimal route for the delivery of goods based on at least one of delivery parameters and an integrated delivery cycle.

[0083] For example, the delivery control unit (130) can determine the optimal route based on at least one of the demand for goods, the price of goods, the working hours of drivers, and the capacity of the delivery vehicle.

[0084] According to one side, the delivery control unit (130) can determine at least one of the integrated delivery cycle and the optimal route based on the constraints of the following formula 8.

[0085] [Equation 8]

[0086]

[0087]

[0088]

[0089]

[0091] Here, is a binary variable (delivery vehicle buyer Next buyer '1' if visited, otherwise '0'), is the buyer's index, is the vehicle index, is a binary variable (delivery vehicle buyer 1 if visited, otherwise 0), is the maximum number of delivery vehicles, is the maximum working hours of delivery vehicle drivers, is the speed of the delivery vehicle, is a buyer from supplier (0) Distance to, is the buyer Buyer from It means the distance to.

[0092] Meanwhile, the delivery integrated management system (100) may be implemented as an online platform operated by a supplier of goods (e.g., an online inventory management platform), in which case the online platform may include a delivery management module, a delivery algorithm, a real-time update interface, and a customer feedback management system.

[0093] Specifically, the delivery management module refers to a module that performs order data collection, demand forecasting, route optimization, and real-time monitoring, and the delivery algorithm refers to an algorithm that establishes an optimal delivery plan and determines the route based on order data (i.e., demand data).

[0094] In addition, the real-time update interface refers to real-time data updates and a user interface for integration with an online platform, and the customer feedback management system refers to a system that collects and analyzes customer feedback to provide information for service improvement.

[0096] FIG. 2 is a drawing for further explaining a delivery integrated management system according to one embodiment.

[0097] Referring to FIG. 2, reference numeral 200 illustrates a shipment consolidation process performed in a shipment consolidation management system according to one embodiment.

[0098] In addition, in FIG. 2, reference numeral 210 indicates the start time for the accumulation of demand data, and reference numeral 220 indicates the start time for the delivery of goods corresponding to the demand data (i.e., It means ), and drawing symbol 230 means the point in time when the goods are consolidated and moved to a delivery vehicle (i.e., the point in time when transfer using a delivery vehicle begins), and drawing symbol 240 means the point in time when the goods arrive at the buyer.

[0099] Also, in Fig. 2 represents the dispatch cycle (i.e., the start time of transport using a delivery vehicle – the start time of demand data accumulation), and refers to the time when the goods are transported to the buyer (i.e., the time when the goods arrive at the buyer – the time when transport using a delivery vehicle begins), and is the time when the goods arrive at the buyer and the time when delivery of the goods begins (i.e., It means the difference of, refers to the entire delivery integration process cycle.

[0100] Specifically, a delivery integrated management system according to one embodiment collects demand data from multiple buyers for at least one item, derives delivery parameters based on the demand data, calculates total revenue and total cost corresponding to the demand data based on the delivery parameters, and can determine an integrated delivery cycle corresponding to the demand data by considering the total revenue and total cost.

[0101] In addition, the delivery integrated management system can determine the optimal route for the delivery of goods based on at least one of the delivery parameters and the integrated delivery cycle.

[0102] In other words, the delivery integration management system can accumulate demand when it arises from buyers, and when the optimal integrated delivery cycle arrives, it can perform the process of integrating the items based on the accumulated demand and delivering the relevant items to each buyer.

[0103] More specifically, in an online platform (e.g., a dental inventory management platform), when a buyer orders at least one item, the order can be forwarded to a supplier; however, if the supplier handles deliveries independently for orders from various buyers, delivery costs may increase.

[0104] Accordingly, the integrated delivery management system can merge demand from various buyers and proceed with the delivery of goods in bulk when a certain point in time (i.e., the integrated delivery cycle) is reached.

[0105] The delivery integrated management system can set optimal routes and costs based on the quantity of demand and the price of items. For example, the delivery integrated management system can assign different priorities to a first buyer who orders 10 inexpensive items such as masks or gloves and a second buyer who orders 10 expensive items such as implants, and when setting the optimal route, it can set the second buyer who ordered expensive items to have priority on the route.

[0106] In addition, the delivery integrated management system can consider the labor hours of drivers and the capacity of delivery vehicles when setting the optimal route. For example, if the demand from the first buyer and the second buyer exceeds the loading capacity of the delivery vehicle, the delivery integrated management system may determine the optimal route by dividing the delivery vehicle into two and delivering goods to the first buyer and the second buyer respectively via different routes.

[0107] Meanwhile, the current integrated delivery process conducts deliveries at optimal times, which can lead to buyer dissatisfaction due to delays in receiving goods. Therefore, an integrated delivery management system can minimize buyer dissatisfaction by considering the demand sensitivity to delivery costs, along with the demand sensitivity to delivery time, as variables for determining the integrated delivery cycle.

[0109] FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of determining an integrated delivery cycle through a delivery integrated management system according to one embodiment.

[0110] Referring to FIG. 3, reference numeral 300 illustrates the analysis results of the optimal route in the case where there is no shipment consolidation process (T = 0) and the case where the shipment cycle is 1 to 7 days (i.e., T = 1 to 7).

[0111] According to reference numeral 300, a delivery integrated management system according to one embodiment can derive delivery parameters based on collected demand data and determine an optimal delivery cycle (i.e., an integrated delivery cycle) by considering the optimal route and total profit calculated in response to the delivery parameters.

[0112] Specifically, the delivery integrated management system can determine T=3, which has the highest profit, as the optimal delivery cycle based on the optimal route from T=0 to T=7 shown in reference numeral 300 and the analysis results of the total profit shown in Table 2 below.

[0113]

[0115] FIG. 4 is a drawing for explaining a delivery integrated management method according to one embodiment.

[0116] Referring to FIG. 4, in step 410, the delivery integration management method can collect demand data from multiple buyers for at least one item in the data collection unit.

[0117] Next, in step 420, the delivery integration management method can derive delivery parameters based on demand data in the parameter derivation unit.

[0118] According to one side, in step 420, the delivery integration management method can derive delivery parameters corresponding to at least one of the demand quantity for goods, price for goods, fixed processing cost, delivery cost, labor hours of drivers, capacity of delivery vehicles, and demand sensitivity in the parameter derivation unit.

[0119] For example, in step 420, the delivery integration management method can calculate demand sensitivity based on the order cycle and delivery costs, etc., based on existing demand data stored in the parameter derivation unit by using order quantity information and price information for each item included in the demand data.

[0120] Preferably, in step 420, the delivery integration management method can derive the parameters of the above-described Equations 1 to 8 as delivery parameters in the parameter derivation unit.

[0121] Next, in step 430, the delivery integrated management method can calculate total revenue and total cost corresponding to demand data based on delivery parameters in the delivery control unit, and determine an integrated delivery cycle corresponding to demand data by considering the total revenue and total cost.

[0122] For example, in step 430, the delivery integration management method can determine the optimal integrated delivery cycle by applying a repair model in the delivery control unit to determine prices based on customer demand sensitivity and delivery time, and by considering total revenue and total costs based on the determination results.

[0123] Specifically, in step 430, the delivery integrated management method can calculate total revenue based on a pre-set demand function and a pre-set price function in the delivery control unit, calculate total cost based on the demand function and demand generated in a pre-set dispatch cycle, and determine the optimal integrated delivery cycle through calculations based on total revenue, total cost, and the dispatch cycle.

[0124] More specifically, in step 430, the delivery integration management method can determine the optimal integrated delivery cycle in the delivery control unit through Formula 1 based on total revenue, total cost, and the dispatch cycle.

[0125] According to one side, in step 430, the delivery integrated management method can calculate the total cost based on at least one of a demand function, demand generated in the dispatch cycle, a fixed handling cost per dispatch cycle, a handling cost per item, the capacity of the delivery vehicle, the inventory maintenance cost of the item, the delivery cost of the item, and the transfer time of the item at the delivery control unit.

[0126] Preferably, in step 430, the delivery integration management method can calculate total revenue in the delivery control unit through Equation 2 based on the demand function and the price function.

[0127] In addition, in step 430, the delivery integrated management method can calculate the total cost in the delivery control unit through Formula 3, which is based on fixed processing costs per dispatch cycle, processing costs per unit product, capacity of delivery vehicles, inventory / holding costs per unit time and per unit product, demand in the dispatch cycle, delivery costs per unit time and per unit product, and the time it takes to transport goods to the buyer.

[0128] For example, the demand function may be a function that performs an operation based on at least one of the maximum potential demand of buyers, demand sensitivity to price, a preset price function, a preset lead time, and demand sensitivity to lead time, and preferably, the demand function may be derived through Equation 4.

[0129] Additionally, the price function may be a function that performs calculations based on at least one of the buyer's base price, sensitivity to delivery waiting time, lead time, price sensitivity to delivery time, and distance from the supplier's location to the buyer's location, and preferably, the price function can be derived through Equation 5.

[0130] In addition, the time required can be calculated through a calculation based on at least one of the dispatch cycle, the transfer time of the goods, and the start time of delivery of the goods, and preferably, the time required can be derived through Equation 6.

[0131] Meanwhile, in step 430, the delivery integrated management method can determine the optimal route for the delivery of goods based on at least one of the delivery parameters and the integrated delivery cycle in the delivery control unit.

[0132] For example, in step 430, the delivery integrated management method can determine the optimal route in the delivery control unit based on at least one of the demand for goods, the price of goods, the working hours of drivers, and the capacity of delivery vehicles.

[0133] For a more specific example, in step 430, the delivery integration management method can assign different priorities to the first buyer who ordered the low-priced item and the second buyer who ordered the high-priced item in the delivery control unit, and determine the optimal route based on the priority, in which case the second buyer who ordered the high-priced item can be set to be placed in priority on the route.

[0134] In addition, in step 430, the delivery integrated management method may determine an optimal route in the delivery control unit so that if the demand from the first buyer and the second buyer exceeds the loading capacity of the delivery vehicle, the delivery vehicle is divided into two and goods are delivered to the first buyer and the second buyer respectively via different routes.

[0136] Ultimately, by utilizing the present invention, it is possible to determine the optimal integrated delivery cycle based on a time-based shipment integration policy, thereby increasing transportation efficiency and optimizing the logistics process to reduce costs.

[0137] In addition, by using the present invention, an optimized route can be provided to each buyer by taking into account the buyer's location.

[0139] Although the embodiments have been described above with reference to the limited drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations from the description above. For example, suitable results can be achieved even if the described techniques are performed in a different order than described, and / or the components of the described system, structure, device, circuit, etc. are combined or assembled in a form different from described, or replaced or substituted by other components or equivalents.
