The aim of this course is to examine shipment planning and routing processes in business logistics from order approval to vehicle selection, loading, documentation, costing, and route planning. Within the scope of the course, students are expected to gain the ability to plan shipment resources by considering operational constraints, analyze basic routing problems, and formulate and solve logistics optimization problems such as transportation, assignment, and scheduling problems.
