A Hybrid Solution Approach for Ready-Mixed Concrete Delivery
Companies in the concrete industry are facing the following scheduling problem on a daily basis: concrete produced at several plants has to be delivered at customers’ construction sites using a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles in a timely, but cost-effective manner. As the ordered quantity of concrete typically exceeds the capacity of a single vehicle several deliveries need to be scheduled in o...
متن کاملHybridization of very large neighborhood search for ready-mixed concrete delivery problems
Companies in the concrete industry are facing the following scheduling problem on a daily basis: concrete produced at several plants has to be delivered at customers’ construction sites using a heterogeneous fleet of vehicles in a timely, but cost-effective manner. The distribution of ready-mixed concrete (RMC) is a highly complex problem in logistics and combinatorial optimization. This paper ...
متن کاملUsing Benders Decomposition for Solving Ready Mixed Concrete Dispatching Problem
Large scale dispatching problems are technically characterized as classical NP-hard problems which means that they cannot be solved optimally with existing methods in a polynomial time. Benders decomposition is recommended for solving large scale Mixed Integer Programming (MIP). In this paper we use the Bender Decomposition technique for reformulating the Ready Mixed Concrete Dispatching Proble...
متن کاملReal-time Monitoring of Ready-Mixed Concrete Delivery with an Integrated Navigation System
The escalating scale and growing complexity of ready-mixed concrete (RMC) delivery operations have challenged current methods for monitoring RMC delivery and dispatching truckmixers by two-way radio voice-based communication and experience-driven management. This paper describes an integrated navigation system, based on Global Positioning System (GPS)/Dead Reckoning (DR)/Bluetooth Beacon (BB) a...
متن کاملSolving Ready-Mixed Concrete Delivery Problems: Evolutionary Comparison between Column Generation and Robust Genetic Algorithm
An effective resource allocation technique is required for each Ready Mixed Concrete (RMC). Finding the optimum solution for large scale RMC dispatching problems with available computing facilities is intractable. Two kinds of techniques have been implemented to deal with this problem: (i) evolutionary techniques and (ii) numerical techniques. For the purposes of this paper we selected a techni...
