Nextmv order fulfillment template

This is a Integer Programming model to solve the order fulfillment problem.

The order fulfillment problem is a typical decision problem in e-commerce and the retailer industry. It needs to be determined which distribution centers are used and which carriers should be considered for the transportation of the order to the customer. Of course these are not all aspects of the order fulfillment problem, but these decisions will be the focus of this model.

The most important files created are main.go and input.json.

• main.go implements a MIP knapsack solver.
• input.json is a sample input file that follows the input definition in main.go.

Run the command below to see if everything works as expected:

nextmv sdk run . -- -runner.input.path input.json \
  -runner.output.path output.json -solve.duration 10s

A file output.json should have been created with a solution to the order fulfillment problem.

Next steps

• Open main.go and read through the comments to understand the model.
• API documentation and examples can be found in the package documentation.
• Further documentation, guides, and API references about custom modelling and deployment can also be found on our blog and on our documentation site.
