Cargo Distribution Problems: a Case Study of Isparta City

چکیده
The vehicle routing problem (vrp) is related to service a number of customers with a fleet of vehicles. In real life, the applications of transportation, distribution and logistics are mostly studied as a research area for scientists and industrial practioners. In this study, the cargo distribution problem has been presented by using vrp procedures for a cargo company in Isparta City, Turkiye. The 400 customer points and their requirements are only served from two branch offices of a cargo company. Firstly, the customer points are clustered to Euclidean distance matrices and in the second phase, the distribution plans are computed via vrp approach. As a result, the solutions are obtained and the distribution plans are offered to the cargo company under cost and fleet minimization.
