Description

This article studies the distribution problem arising in a Quebec-based company, Ameublement Tanguay Inc., which operates in the furniture and electronics industries. Their distribution problem can be modeled as a variant of the heterogeneous vehicle routing problem with time windows, but it includes some additional and important real-life constraints which make the routing problem more challenging. Among them, let us mention that, due to marketing reasons linking products to the different brands of the company, each delivery can only be performed by a specific subset of the available vehicles. We described this new problem and developed a class-based insertion heuristic for solving it. The heuristic was tested on a set of real instances and compared with the results of the commercial solver used by our industrial partner. The results demonstrate that our routing algorithm performs better than the commercial solver on all instances. The number of routes and the daily distances are always reduced, and the weekly improvements are up to 23.7%. On an annual basis, these improvements represent cost savings of several hundred thousands of dollars.--Résumé de l'éditeur.
