Logistics plays a critical role in transporting and distributing products and assets. Vehicle routing models are essential in logistics to enhance efficiency and reduce operating costs in product distribution. Optimization models are based on the vehicle routing problem, which computational optimization algorithms can address. These algorithms consider factors such as vehicle capacity, distance between departure and delivery points, waiting times, and driver, customer, and vehicle constraints. Furthermore, optimization algorithms enable consideration of product traceability, which helps companies and customers track the movement of products from their origin to their final destination.
