Popis: Effective material distribution is a vital issue to maintain the assembly lines’ operations. So, coordination of the material supply to the assembly lines requires a system design that minimizes total material handling, inventory holding costs and prevents parts shortage. This is called the multi-commodity multi-vehicle material supply system design problem. To solve this, first, a Single-Vehicle Milk-run Mathematical Model is proposed. Then, a Matheuristic that iteratively employs the proposed model is developed to design a multi-vehicle in-plant milk-run system. The proposed methodology is validated by designing the milk-run system of a real washing machine assembly plant.
