This study presents a supply chain model for optimizing milk collection routing in multi-depot networks. The problem consists of a fleet of vehicles that leaves their depots (i.e., typically the driver's houses), visits an assigned set of farms to collect the raw milk, and delivers it to the...

Alignment is a widely adopted technique in the field of microsimulation for social and economic policy research. However, limited research has been devoted to understanding the statistical properties of the various alignment algorithms currently in use. This paper discusses and evaluates six...
