La región a la que se da servicio es dividida en distritos, cada uno atendido por un solo vehículo que sale de un depósito central. Se busca optimizar dos objetivos: compacidad y balance de la carga de trabajo. Presentamos la formulación matemática del problema y un algoritmo heurístico para resolverlo. Se presentan resultados numéricos en comparación con las soluciones encontradas por CPLEX 11.1 para las instancias de menor tamaño. Los resultados muestran un buen desempeño del algoritmo heurístico, el cual es capaz de resolver instancias de tamaño moderado en tiempos razonables, dada la naturaleza estratégica del problema.Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México2011-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed Articleapplication/pdfhttps://jart.icat.unam.mx/index.php/jart/article/view/44110.22201/icat.16656423.2011.9.01.441Journal of Applied Research and Technology; Vol. 9 No. 01Journal of Applied Research and Technology; Vol. 9 Núm. 012448-67361665-642310.22201/icat.24486736e.2011.9.01reponame:Journal of Applied Research and Technologyinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMenghttps://jart.icat.unam.mx/index.php/jart/article/view/441/437Copyright (c) 2018 Journal of Applied Research and Technologyinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs2.localhost:article/4412024-08-16T17:54:15Z

description In this article we address a districting problem faced by a pickup and delivery parcel company over a determined service region. The service region is divided into districts, each served by a single vehicle that departs from a central depot. Two objectives are optimized: compactness and balance of the workload content among the districts. We present a mathematical formulation of the problem and a heuristic algorithm to solve the problem. Numerical results are presented in comparison to CPLEX 11.1 solutions for the smaller size instances. The results show that the heuristic performs well. The algorithm is able to solve moderate size instances in reasonable computational time, given the strategic nature of the problem.
