Abstract

In Cambodia, people use public transport bus for their courier delivery service rather than a post office since the bus companies have a better infrastructure and delivery fee. The bus companies have their own bus routes and stops, but they do not have a public stop to share with each other. Therefore, customers for courier delivery should know the bus company’s routes to use as well as they should visit the bus company. In this paper, an idea is proposed to improve the current courier delivery service in Cambodia. If some of the bus companies are selected as logistics hubs for courier delivery by using their existing infrastructure and operated properly, the customers as well as the bus companies will have considerable convenience and benefits. A p-median model is formulated to locate the logistics hubs in the two major cities, Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, as well as a sensitivity analysis is conducted to study how the proposed model and its solution respond to the variation for the p value which is the number of the logistics hubs.
