Abstract EN
In this paper, we analyze a real-world OVRP problem for a production company.
Considering real-world constrains, we classify our problem as multicapacitated/heterogeneous fleet/open vehicle routing problem with split deliveries and multiproduct (MCHF/OVRP/SDMP) which is a novel classification of an OVRP.
We have developed a mixed integer programming (MIP) model for the problem and generated test problems in different size (10–90 customers) considering real-world parameters.
Although MIP is able to find optimal solutions of small size (10 customers) problems, when the number of customers increases, the problem gets harder to solve, and thus MIP could not find optimal solutions for problems that contain more than 10 customers.
Moreover, MIP fails to find any feasible solution of large-scale problems (50–90 customers) within time limits (7200 seconds).
Therefore, we have developed a genetic algorithm (GA) based solution approach for large-scale problems.
The experimental results show that the GA based approach reaches successful solutions with 9.66% gap in 392.8 s on average instead of 7200 s for the problems that contain 10–50 customers.
For large-scale problems (50–90 customers), GA reaches feasible solutions of problems within time limits.
In conclusion, for the real-world applications, GA is preferable rather than MIP to reach feasible solutions in short time periods.
