How many mathematicians does it take to optimise your internet shopping deliveries? In conversation with the Winners of the 12th AIMMS-MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition, we hear how team NP Die Hard discovered their previously untapped skills to solve this problem in 3 months… and get a paper published from their work! From choosing your warehouses, to using the most appropriate optimisation to arrange deliveries, the team solved a very relevant problem for all of us in lockdown. After presenting their unique solution, they were contacted by a journal editor in the audience who wanted to publish their innovative work. What better way to celebrate pi day?

Ivona Gjeroska is on LinkedIn and Facebook, Paula Fermin Cueto is on LinkedIn, and Albert Solà Vilalta is also on LinkedIn.
The research article they wrote is: Fermín Cueto, P., Gjeroska, I., Solà Vilalta, A. and Anjos, M., 2021. A solution approach for multi‐trip vehicle routing problems with time windows, fleet sizing, and depot location. Networks, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/net.22028
