The vehicle routing assignment consists of four parts: closest next (20%), Ray sweep (25%), Saving approach (35%), and load consolidation (20%). Problem 1. Pohlen Manufacturing and Logistics (PM&L) uses vans to deliver merchandise to outlying customers (designated by circles). The merchandise is delivered from a depot point (black box). A typical day's deliveries are shown in the geographic region shown below. The delivery quantities are shown in thousands of units. PM&L uses vans that can haul 15,000 units. To complete a route generally requires the entire day. PM&L wants to determine how many routes (trucks) are needed, which stops should be made on the routes, and which sequence the stops should be served by the route truck. (Note: delivery quantities are in 1000s of units. For Example: 3 represents 3000 units) 7 10 •3 3 3 3 • 4 • 2 ODC 1 10 4 2 3 6 •1 9 The vehicle routing assignment consists of four parts: closest next (20%), Ray sweep (25%), Saving approach (35%), and load consolidation (20%).
