The pickup and delivery problem addresses the real-world issues in logistic industry and establishes an important category of vehicle routing problems. The problem is to find the shortest route to collect and distribute objects under the assumption that the total supply and the total demand are in equilibrium. This study formulates a new problem, called the selective pickup and delivery problem (SPDP),...
When planning transport in the logistics industry, the main issue is to enhance efficiency and save total transportation costs. Using special systems and transport process will improve the value of services. Previous papers had focused on the external service network of trucks; only few discuss the internal network within one company. The inter-service area of cargo transportation and logistics industry...
The fleet size and mix vehicle routing problem (FSMVRP) consists of defining the type, the number of vehicles of each type, as well as the order in which to serve the customers with each vehicle when a company has to distribute goods to a set of customers geographically spread, with the objective of minimizing the total costs. In this paper, we study a real-life FSMVRP with time windows (FSMVRPTW)...
VMI (vendor managed inventory) policy coordinates effectively the antinomy between the inventory and the transportation within logistics distribution system. Under VMI mode, integrating inventory and transportation of the supplier and the demander as a whole is considered to achieve the optimization of total distribution cost. In view of typical one-warehouse multiretailer distribution network in...
This paper based on the manipulation of full vehicle logistic network and integrated inventory, in order to optimize automobile logistics network and reduce costs, the integrated optimization model was presented, which provided an integrated view of transportation economies-of-scale, inventory and facility costs as well as service quality, and at the same time a complicated multi-customer network...
