The Amazon team studied the design of a low-cost fulfilment network that allows for the fast shipping of packages between origins (e.g., warehouses) and destinations (e.g., customer locations).<\/p>\n<p>\nService Network Design problems, as they are known, are considered very hard to solve efficiently.
