Abstract

Application of vehicle routing problem in real-life logistics operations is a need of today’s world, and this paper focuses on developing a vehicle routing problem for the delivery and pickup of products from multiple depot to the graphically scattered customers. The proposed model can be used in real-life applications of various logistic operations where there is a need to determine the optimized location of warehouse for setup so that the demand of customers is fully satisfied. To do so, a genetic algorithm-based solution methodology is proposed to solve the above-stated problem. The proposed algorithm is tested on generated data based on real-life scenarios. The experiments show that the proposed algorithm successfully finds the potential locations for warehouse setup based on the demand and location of customers for minimum transportation cost. The presented approach can provide good solutions to a large-scale problem generally found in real life.
