Abstract
This study develops a model to optimize warehouse space allocation to maximize throughput based on the capabilities of the delivery company. A bounded knapsack model is suggested for strategic customer selection. It integrates the customer’s inputs and the delivery company’s capabilities to determine a subset of customers and the respective volume amounts that need to be selected from each customer to maximize the company’s profit. The aim is to enhance profit by choosing customers with high profitability, considering penalties, and ensuring the total processed volume does not exceed the facility’s capacity. A heuristic method is suggested and tested. This method enables postal organizations to leverage their current assets and procedures to gain an edge in the expanding e-commerce sector. Numerical analyses indicate that the proposed greedy heuristic results in penalty values that are comparable to or lower than those of traditional methods, and it enhances the overall profitability of the postal organization. • Process of customer selection for postal industry utilizing profits and penalties. • Problem formulation modeled after the bounded knapsack problem. • Optimizing warehouse space utilization to maximize profits. • Greedy heuristic approach introduced for simple analysis. • Applicable in fulfillment, 3PL, last mile delivery industry.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
