Dynamic customer demands impose new challenges for vehicle routing optimization with time windows, in which appear dynamically within the working periods of depots. The delivery routes should be adjusted as soon possible when emerge. This study investigates a collaborative multidepot problem dynamic and windows (CMVRPDCDTW) by considering resource sharing demands. Resource across multiple servi...

One of the most important points in a supply chain is customer-driven modeling, which reduces the bullwhip effect in the supply chain, as well as the costs of investment on the inventory and efficient transshipment of the products. Their homogeneity is reflected in the Inventory Routing Problem, which is a combination of distribution and inventory management. This paper expands the classical In...

We propose a tabu search meta-heuristic for the Time dependent Multi-zone Multi-trip Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows. Two types of neighborhoods, corresponding to two decision sets of the problem, together with a strategy controlling the selection of the neighborhood type for particular phases of the search, provide the means to set up and combine exploration and exploitation capabili...
