Methodology to Solve the Combination of the Generalized Assignment Problem and the Vehicle Routing Problem: A Case Study in Drug and Medical Instrument Sales and Service

This article presents algorithms for solving a special case of the vehicle routing problem (VRP). We define our proposed problem of a special VRP case as a combination of two hard problems: the generalized assignment and the vehicle routing problem. The different evolution (DE) algorithm is used to...
