The design of distribution systems raises hard combinatorial optimization problems. For
instance, facility location problems must be solved at the strategic decision level to place …

This is a review of the literature on variants and extensions of the standard location-routing
problem published since the last survey, by Nagy and Salhi, appeared in 2006. We propose …

This paper develops a simulated annealing heuristic based exact solution approach to solve
the green vehicle routing problem (G-VRP) which extends the classical vehicle routing …

Sustainable supply chain management is a topical area which is continuing to grow and
evolve. Within supply chains, downstream distribution from producers to customers plays a …

The location‐routing problem (LRP) and its variants have been studied extensively over the
past few years. The number of articles has grown more than ever, since the last surveys …

In order to solve the optimization problem of logistics distribution system for fresh food, this
paper provides a low-carbon and environmental protection point of view, based on the …

The vehicle routing problem is one of the most important areas of logistics management.
This study considers two-echelon vehicle routing problem with simultaneous pickup and …

Location‐routing is a branch of locational analysis that takes into account distribution
aspects. This paper proposes a taxonomy, with two levels, for location‐routing problems …

In this paper, the capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands (CLRP-FD) is
considered. In CLRP-FD, facility location problem (FLP) and vehicle routing problem (VRP) …

This paper introduces the fleet size and mix location-routing problem with time windows
(FSMLRPTW) which extends the location-routing problem by considering a heterogeneous …
