Objectives Develop an algorithm to find shipment installation sequence for a transportation company Prepare a suitable data structure for the given problem Scenario Next Day Cargo Company promise their customers that any cargo given to any of their branches until 5 pm will be delivered (nationally) the next day. To achieve this goal, they operate as follows; They collect cargo during the daytime (until 5 pm) They send all cargo to distribution hubs in the evening When the cargo reached to the distribution centers, they group cargo with respect to delivery address; which is the corresponding distribution centers for corresponding addresses (Figure 2.1) Figure 2-1.png Figure 2.1: Cargo Collection Operations Throughout the night, cargo trucks transport the cargo between the distribution centers In the early hours of the morning, each distribution center groups and delivers the cargo for corresponding cargo branches (Figure 2.2) Figure 2-2.png Figure 2.2: Cargo Distribution Operations During the Night Each cargo branch groups the cargo and loads to delivery trucks or vans in the morning and deliver the cargo during the daytime (Figure 2.3) Figure 2-3.png Figure 2.3: Cargo Distribution Operations During the Daytime While they are doing these operations, they have to load trucks/vans many times. These loadings of cargo to trucks has a proper sequence to follow, which is prioritized by the weight of each cargo. Having heavy cargo first loaded has the following advantages; Low center of gravity for each vehicle; causing more stable vehicle while driving, Heavy cargo items more likely to be durable, and light cargo can be carried easily on top of them. The reverse of this situation, light cargo on the bottom and heavy cargo on top can cause several damages to the light cargo on the bottom. Next Day Cargo company is a nationwide company with at least one distribution center for each city and branch for almost every district. They have such a big distribution network, a small failure or delay will have a domino effect on this network and distribution operations.
