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 …

Agri-food sector performance strongly impacts global economy, which means that
developing optimisation models to support the decision-making process in agri-food supply …

Same-day delivery and on-demand delivery with driverless delivery robots (DDRs) are
becoming new attractive options for more customers looking for grocery or medication …

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used increasingly in military and civil
operations. Efficiency in utilization of those vehicles is a great challenge for the practitioners …

The location routing problem (LRP) involves the three key decision levels in supply chain
design, that is, strategic, tactical, and operational levels. It deals with the simultaneous …

Purpose: The location of actors and production, transformation, commercialization and
distribution facilities generate the configuration of the perishable food supply chain (PFSC) …

The capacitated location routing problem (CLRP) integrates a facility location problem with a
multi-depot vehicle routing problem. We consider the CLRP with stochastic demands, whose …

In this paper we formulate an integer programming model for the Location and Routing
Problem with Pickup and Delivery. We propose a column generation scheme and …

This paper addresses a new variant of location-routing problem (LRP), namely the LRP with
simultaneous pickup and delivery (LRPSPD). A hyper-heuristic approach based on iterated …

Esta tesis busca establecer cómo el diseño de la cadena de suministro de alimentos incide
en el equilibrio de los flujos logísticos, el cual coloca a los actores en diferentes fronteras de …
