Abstract
To meet customer demand, delivery companies are offering an increasing number of time-definite services. In the article, we examine the strategic design of delivery networks which can efficiently provide these services. Because of the high cost satisfies all of the delivery guarantees, we allow these guarantees to be violated but seek to minimize the sum of the violations. We establish the complexity of the problem and exploit an empirically identified solution structure to create new neighborhoods which improve solution values over more general neighborhood structures.
