This paper aims to present a generalized ontology model for the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) and it gives some out-plant material handling case studies. The is logistics task where customers with specific need products are served within least possible distance traveled by vehicles. has been highly investigated in operations research, computer science, transportation mathematics. As our new app...
