This article presents algorithms for solving a special case of the vehicle routing problem (VRP).We define our proposed problem of a special VRP case as a combination of two hard problems: the generalized assignment and the vehicle routing problem. The different evolution (DE) algorithm is used...

Purpose: The research purpose is to enhance picking performance by developing a hybrid algorithm that classifies SKU, determines slot, and routes the process for Delivery Order (DO). Design/methodology/approach: FSN classification is used for categorizing the products into three groups:...

A recurring challenge for transportation companies is the inefficiency of returning (partially) empty vehicles, or backhauling, after delivering orders. To address this issue, companies search on freight exchange platforms for profitable pickup and delivery orders, aiming to reduce the costs...
