Desafios para implementação da distribuição noturna

Abstract

The challenges of urban distribution of loads require the implementation of new forms of delivery. The urban overnight freight delivery has emerged as one of the solutions for agility operations and reduction of logistics costs, especially in the final stage of the supply chain, also known as last mile. This study analyzes the barriers to the adoption of this practice and the level of acceptance of participants in the supply chain. The results indicate that even generating impacts on operations and costs of companies, most survey respondents are in favor of implementing the overnight delivery.
