A Fast Look-ahead Heuristic for the Multi-depot Vehicle Routing Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multi-depot vehicle routing problem (MDVRP) is a very challenging part of supply chain optimization. We propose here a simple yet powerful heuristic for the MDVRP with an integrated look-ahead. Compared to other state-of-the-art approaches, our heuristic is significantly faster, but yields competitive results and even found several new best solutions on a set of standard benchmark problems.

The fuzzy multi-depot vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery: Formulation and a heuristic algorithm
In this paper, the fuzzy multi-depot vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and delivery (FMDVRP-SPD) is investigated. The FMDVRP-SPD is the problem of allocating customers to several depots, so that the optimal set of routes is determined simultaneously to serve the pickup and the delivery demands of each customer within scattered depots. In the problem, both pickup and delivery dema...

A capacitated location-routing problem (CLRP) is one of the new areas of research in distribution management. It consists of two problems; locating of facilities and routing of the vehicle with a specific capacity. The purpose of the CLRP is to open a set of stores, allocate customers to established deposits, and then design vehicle tours in order to minimize the total cost. In this paper, a ne...

In this study, a two phase hybrid heuristic approach was proposed to solve the multi-depot multi-vehicle inventory routing problem (MDMVIRP). Inventory routing problem (IRP) is one of the major issues in the supply chain networks that arise in the context of vendor managed systems (VMI) The MDMVIRP combines inventory management and routing decision. We are given on input a fleet of homogeneous ...
