To schedule material supply intelligently and meet the production demand, studies concerning the material logistics planning problem are essential. In this paper, we consider the problem based on the scenario that more than one vehicle may visit each station in batches. The primary objective is to satisfy the demands in the time windows, followed by logistics planning with the minimum vehicles and travel time as the optimization objective. We construct a multi-objective mixed-integer programming model for the scenario of discrete material supply in workshops. First, we propose a hybrid heuristic algorithm combining NSGA-II and variable neighborhood search. This proposed algorithm combines the global search capability of NSGA-II and the strong local search capability, which can balance intensification and diversification well. Second, to maintain the diversity of population, we design the population diversity strategy and various neighborhood operators. We verify the effectiveness of the hybrid algorithm by comparing with other algorithms. To test the validity of the proposed problem, we have carried out research and application in a construction machinery enterprise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
