Routing for the Milk-Run Pickup System in Automobile Parts Supply

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing ((AINSC,volume 66))

Abstract

An optimization-based approach is developed for routing a just-in-time (JIT) supply system, which requires for high-frequency, small quantity deliveries. The mathematical model called common frequency routing problem (CFR) is formulated. To solve the model, tabu search strategies have been developed. The utility of the approach is demonstrated through a computational experiment. The result shows that in the same demand conditions, the total transport distance is shorten, the total times of vehicle trips is reduced and side inventory decreases.
