Abstract
A method and system for delivery establishes a delivery subsector for a distribution facility, adjusts at delivery area within the delivery subsector, plans a flexible delivery route in the delivery area, and completes deliveries. Deliveries having delivery locations closest to the distribution facility are not assigned to the flexible delivery route such that additional delivery resources are required only in areas in close proximity with the distribution facility.
