Abstract

AbstractWe propose a model for lateral transhipments in a supply chain [6] that considers to use one vehicle to combine the transhipments in a tours to improve the overall costs. The corresponding problem is an extension of the One-Commodity Pickup and Delivery Traveling Salesman and the Pickup and Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem. In general we have to consider a maximum tour length and capacity limits, hence the problem also has aspects of an orienteering problem. The main contribution is the discussion of the tour planning aspects for lateral transhipments which may be valuable for an in-house planning but also for price negotiations with external contractors. We will introduce a mixed integer mathematical model for the single route and single commodity version and a LNS heuristic to solve the problem.Keywordslateral transhipmentorienteeringteam orienteeringvehicle routingpickup and delivery
