“…Cordeau et al modify tabu search to address PVRPTW, Angelelli and Speranza adapt tabu search to incorporate intermediate facilities (PVRPIF), and Alonso et al incorporate multiple trips per vehicle along with accessibility constraints. Banerjea‐Brodeur apply it to optimize laundry delivery within a hospital, and Parthanadee and Logendran apply it to MDPVRP in a food service delivery setting. Francis et al define metrics that quantify the operational flexibility of a solution and the operational complexity and then modify tabu search to account for these characteristics.…”

“…Alonso et al consider a variation of the PVRP where vehicles can make multiple trips per day and include limitations on which vehicles can be assigned to which customers. Parthanadee and Logendran add limitations to the capacity of the depots in the MDPVRP. The authors also deal with customer demand for multiple products, fixed supply at the depot of each of these products, and scheduled replenishments of the products to the depot.…”

The periodic vehicle routing problem (PVRP) first appeared in 1974 in a paper about garbage collection (Beltrami and Bodin, Networks 4 (1974), 65–74). The wide applicability and versatility of the problem has led to a vast body of literature addressing both novel applications and solution methods. This article discusses the wide array of circumstances and settings in which the PVRP has been applied and describes the development of solution methods, both exact and heuristic, for the PVRP. As with many core research problems, many variants have been proposed. We will describe additional problem variants and extensions, as well as discuss the future of research for the PVRP. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. NETWORKS, Vol. 63(1), 2–15 2014

“…Therefore, the routing problem arising in the packaging waste collection systems is the Multi-Product, Multi-Depot Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem (MP-MDPVRP), where it has to be decided from which depot the multiple products at each site should be collected, in which day of the planning horizon each site should be visited and what should be the collection visit sequence in order to minimize the total routing cost. Parthanadee and Logendran (2006) presented a mathematical model for the MP-MDPVRP and three tabu search heuristics are developed to solve it. However, the authors had called the problem "multi-product" as several products have to be delivered to customers, but the same customer can be visited by vehicles from different depots.…”

a b s t r a c tPackaging waste collection systems are responsible to collect, within a geographic area, three types of packaging materials (paper, glass and plastic/metal) that are disposed by the final consumer into special bins. Those systems are often characterized by having a network with multiple depots that act as transfer and sorting stations, and where the vehicle fleet is based. However, each depot is often managed independently and not as a part of a unique system. In this work, four current tactical/operational practices that contribute to the independent management of each depot are analysed. The change of such practices is investigated and their impact assessed on the total collection cost. A solution methodology based on mathematical formulations is developed to plan service areas, vehicle routes and vehicle schedules taking into account new alternative solutions in managing the system as a whole. Such methodology is applied to a real case study of a company responsible for the collection of the packaging waste in 7 municipalities in mainland Portugal. New service areas, collection routes and vehicle schedules are defined and significant savings are obtained in terms of the total distance travelled as well as in terms of the number of required vehicles, resulting in a decreasing of the total system cost.

“…Aim and Kaminsky (2005) point out that in many companies, the cost of transportation and distribution, as well as inventory costs are a large portion of the total product costs. Parthanadee and Logendran (2006) mention that distribution costs are typically the highest single expense in a logistical system, which are usually greater than warehousing cost, inventory cost and order processing cost.…”
