This paper discusses Supply Chain Network (SCN) design problem under uncertainty, and
presents a critical review of the optimization models proposed in the literature. Some …

One of the most computationally useful ideas of the 1970s is the observation that many hard
integer programming problems can be viewed as easy problems complicated by a relatively …

We consider a common variant of the vehicle routing problem in which a vehicle fleet
delivers products stored at a central depot to satisfy customer orders. Each vehicle has a …

In this paper we present a genetic algorithm (GA)-based heuristic for solving the generalised
assignment problem. The generalised assignment problem is the problem of finding the …

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the school bus routing problem
(SBRP). SBRP seeks to plan an efficient schedule for a fleet of school buses where each …

Delineating the tremendous growth in this area, the Handbook of Approximation Algorithms
and Metaheuristics covers fundamental, theoretical topics as well as advanced, practical …

This paper surveys algorithms for the well-known problem of finding the minimum cost
assignment of jobs to agents so that each job is assigned exactly once and agents are not …

This paper addresses a real-life problem arising in the ongoing “Grand Paris” project. We
investigate an environment-friendly urban freight transportation alternative using passenger …
