Integrating and optimizing the milk-run of Thales Hengelo by creating a Vehicle Routing Problem model

Author(s): Krullaars, T. (2024)

Abstract:
Thales Hengelo is a company aimed at the naval defence branch. Thales uses a milk-run to transport products within their production facilities. The integration and optimization of the milk-run of Thales Hengelo is facilitated by the creation of a Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) model. With extra variants on the VRP, eventually an SDVRPSTWCC (Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem with (partial) Soft Time Windows and Compatibility Constraints) is set up to optimize the milk-run.
