Lagrangian Relazation Approach for an Inventory Routing Problem in Crude Oil Transportation

摘要：

In this paper, an inventory routing problem in crude oil transportation with multiple transportation modes, a heterogeneous fleet of tankers and various logistics costs is studied. After formulating the problem as a mixed integer programming problem, a Lagrangian relaxation approach is developed for finding near optimal solutions of the problem. Numerical experiments show that the approach outperforms an existing meta-heuristic algorithm for the same problem, especially for instances with large sizes.
