摘 要:This paper proposes a Delivery Service Management(DSM)system for Small and Medium Enterprises(SMEs)that own a delivery fleet of pickup trucks to manage Business-to-Business(B2B)delivery *** proposed DSM system integrates four systems:Delivery Location Positioning(DLP),Delivery Route Planning(DRP),Arrival Time Prediction(ATP),and Communication and Data Sharing(CDS)*** systems are used to pinpoint the delivery locations of customers,plan the delivery route of each truck,predict arrival time(with an interval)at each delivery location,and communicate and share information among stakeholders,*** DSM system deploys Google applications,a GPS tracking system,Google Map APIs,ATP algorithms(embedded in Excel Macros),Line,and Telegram as supporting *** improve the accuracy of the ATP system,three tech-niques are applied considering driver *** proposed DSM system has been implemented in a Thai *** the process perspective,the DSM system is a systematic procedure for end-to-end delivery *** allows the interactions between planner-driver decisions and supporting *** supporting tools are simple,can be easily used with little training,and require low capital *** statistical analysis shows that the ATP algorithm with the three techniques provides high ***,the proposed DSM system is beneficial for practitioners to manage delivery services,especially for SMEs in emerging countries.
