Abstract

Amazon delivers tens of millions of shipments worldwide on a daily basis. Planning the last-mile routes that reach final customers requires solving combinatorial optimization problems at massive scale. While designing and engineering efficient algorithms is essential to address this challenge, it is far from sufficient. Drawing on practical examples, this talk argues that properly framing the problem, choosing the right metrics, and navigating real-world operational and organizational constraints are just as critical. In fact, they ultimately shape the algorithms themselves.
