Abstract

In this paper we address a particular capacitated two-stage fixed-charge transportation problem using an efficient hybrid genetic algorithm. The proposed approach is designed to fit the challenges of the investigated optimization problem and is obtained by incorporating an linear programming (LP) optimization problem within the framework of a genetic algorithm. We evaluated our proposed solution approach on two sets of instances often used in the literature. The experimental results that we achieved show the efficiency of our hybrid algorithm in yielding high-quality solutions within reasonable running-times, besides the superiority of our approach against other existing competing methods.
