Abstract :

Vehicle routing issues are one of the most common issues in supply chain management and in transport planning. So far, there have been many published academic articles and applied research papers referred in this study. A new innovative algorithm is proposed in this investigation in order to solve the problem of routing different vehicles with different capacities. The main purpose of this paper is to allocate demand points to each center and determine the best route between the points assigned to each center, as well as determine the best means of transport. The quotes are for each center and the results obtained by the new algorithm are extracted C has been compared with the original algorithms and the results show that this algorithm will be able to compete with innovative algorithms and other interoperability.
