Deep-Dive into VRP Problem-solving with Region based Fleet Management and Dock Placement Strategies

<p>In the&nbsp;<strong>dynamic landscape</strong>&nbsp;of urban logistics,&nbsp;<strong>where demand for proximity stores continues to surge</strong>, the optimization of&nbsp;<strong>distribution networks</strong>&nbsp;becomes paramount. This case study delves into a&nbsp;<strong>Super and Hypermarket</strong>&nbsp;food distribution network in Portugal, where over&nbsp;<strong>200 stores in 10 regions</strong>&nbsp;are serviced through one distribution center. As the complexity grows with the expansion of smaller proximity stores, the challenge at hand is to design a&nbsp;<strong>transportation network</strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>truck fleet</strong>&nbsp;with&nbsp;<strong>dock placement strategies</strong>&nbsp;that&nbsp;<strong>minimizes total costs while maximizing efficiency.</strong></p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@joaogrilo/deep-dive-into-vrp-problem-solving-with-region-based-fleet-management-and-dock-placement-strategies-fd11d5933bc8"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
