Résumé

E-commerce has been continuously growing in the last years to become a major retail market.  In Europe, the percentage of turnover on e-sales in 2016 rose 18 % of the total turnover of enterprises with 10 or more employees, and this percentage increases with the size of the company. 44% of large enterprises made e-sales corresponding to 26% of total turnover in this size class. At the same time, new challenges arise in the e-commerce supply chain management due to demand variations and to higher requirements in delivery services.

This leads to address new optimization problems which are by nature stochastic and/or dynamic. In this presentation, we first describe their main characteristics and the challenges they raise. Next, we illustrate these issues on problems ranging from warehouse management to transportation problems, which we tackled recently. For each problem, we center the talk on its description, on a proposed formulation and on some computational results. Last, we conclude by presenting some research opportunities in E-commerce logistics.
