Metaheuristic Algorithms for the Optimization of Integrated Production Scheduling and Vehicle Routing Problems in Supply Chains

“…Constraint (15) allows the preservation of the vehicle flow, i.e., it ensures that vehicle k must leave customer j after serving customer j. Constraint ( 16) prevents the occurrence of cycles that do not represent a complete route. Constraint (17) defines the passage through the edge between customers i and j by vehicle k and can take a value of 0 or 1. Constraint (18) ensures that the total travel time of vehicle k on a route is less than or equal to the maximum allowed engagement time for that vehicle.…”

“…In the paper [14], the focus is on integrated supply chain management, taking into account the perishability of goods. The research in the papers [15][16][17] revolves around the observation and integration of these phases from a strategic, tactical, and operational decision-making perspective. The authors of the paper [18] present a case study that focuses on the challenges of synchronous production and distribution planning, specifically on permutation flow planning in production operations and setup time dependent on the sequence and alternative routing of vehicles in distribution.…”
