INFORMS 2022 Session on the Amazon Fulfillment Network: Topology and Capacity Planning
October 16
The Amazon fulfillment network is comprised of Amazon buildings and transportation lanes among them. In this talk, I will focus on the network with nodes representing Amazon Fulfillment Centers, Sortation Centers, and the Delivery Stations, where the links are the truck and air lanes among them. The lanes of this network are highly dynamic: their capacity can be changed a few days in advance, and they can also be deprecated or launched with short notice. On the other hand, large buildings are planned years ahead. Designing and expanding this network, as well as adjusting the nodes and links capacities for everyday operation demands an orchestration of complex OR systems. In this talk, I will describe this process.

INFORMS 2022 Session on OR/MS in Industry Practice
October 17
Amazon's outbound network continues to grow to serve increasing customer demand. We solve a capacitated facility location problem that recommends the optimal number, building type, and location of new warehouses to fulfill forecasted demand with minimum cost. We propose a 3-stage MIP-based heuristic which makes decisions sequentially while decomposing the problem into region-specific subproblems. This framework enables us to solve large-scale instances, and associate region-specific parameters to create realistic outbound flows.
