A heuristic algorithm for the asymmetric capacitated vehicle routing problem

Article Abstract:

Heuristic algorithms are employed for the Asymmetric Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem which results when vehicle capacity is considered in the standard asymmetric Vehicle Routing Problem. The popular Clarke-Wright and Fisher-Jaikumar heuristic algorithms are applied. Another heuristic algorithm which employs an infeasible solution as a starting point for determining the vehicle routes by an insertion process and intra-route and inter-route arc exchanges, is also used.

A clustering algorithm for item assignment in a synchronized zone order picking system

Article Abstract:

A clustering algorithm is presented for synchronized order picking from warehouses. The algorithm minimizes the idle time between the times when the zone pickers wait for other pickers to complete the current order by using heuristic approach.
