Abstract

With the development of Internet technology, e-commerce has become the primary choice for consumers to shop, and the huge order transaction volume has generated logistics problems. As an important part of the logistics network, the sorting platform is essential to improve its management efficiency. To enhance the efficiency of the sorting center, the topological relationship diagram is used to show the logistics network, and the cargo volume of the sorting center in the next 30 days and every hour is predicted based on the BP neural network model. Based on the mixed integer linear programming model and the improved genetic algorithm SCAGA model, the total man-days are minimized to ensure that the cargo volume is processed. At the same time, to ensure that the actual hourly efficiency is as balanced as possible, the optimization problem of personnel scheduling is studied. To maintain the efficient operation of the logistics industry, the accurate prediction of the number of goods and the reasonable scheduling of personnel, to provide a set of efficient and economical personnel scheduling programs for the logistics company, thus improving the overall operational efficiency and service quality.
