Amazon Uses THIS Algorithm To Deliver 16 MILLION Orders/Day!

[00:00:00]Amazon delivers 16 million packages every single day. How do they organize the chaos? It's not magic. It's machine learning algorithm called K means clustering. Imagine you have 10,000 customers scattered across the country.

[00:00:12]Where do you build the warehouses? The algorithm finds the mathematical center called the centroid. This is where Amazon places its warehouse. Exactly.

[00:00:20]But what about drivers? Solving the routes for many of these packages is almost next to impossible. So they cluster the city. 2,000 packages become 50 clusters. One cluster equal to one van. They use density clustering. In dense zones, the driver parks the car once and walks to five houses. It even clusters products. High demand items go to local hubs. Rear items stay in the central storage. The math minimizes the total distance between every customer and the center. It turns a chaotic logistic nightmare into a simple geometry problem.
