Abstract

The case addresses a real-world challenge encountered by the nonprofit organization Logica&Co. It revolves around optimizing the logistics involved in collecting food donations from local businesses and delivering them to soup kitchens, utilizing a fleet of bike riders. The focus is identifying efficient strategies to minimize transportation and warehouse costs while maximizing the impact of the donations and private sponsor monetary contributions. The study includes tasks such as determining optimal bike and e-bike warehouse locations and managing the allocation of resources among riders and soup kitchen volunteers.
