Abstract

This paper presents the development of an Optimised Transport Logistics System (OTLS) that adopts Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) technology to select appropriate heuristics rules for planning cargo loading, and selecting the appropriate carrier. To validate the proposed system, a prototype has been developed and tested in a third-party logistics firm, which helps an electrical appliance manufacturing company to deliver its products to local department stores or customers. The case example is outlined with analysis of the feasibility of this proposed system, based on test results.
