Lines of Research

• Arc Routing Problems
Combinatorial optimization problems in which a fl eet of vehicles must be routed over a logistics network, where required links must be serviced while minimizing the total transportation cost.
• General Routing Problems
Combinatorial optimization problems in which a fl eet of vehicles must be routed over a logistics network, where required links and vertices must be serviced while minimizing the total transportation cost.
• Inventory Routing Problems
Combinatorial problems arising in the context of the Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) system, in which the vendor decides on the best replenishment policy of the customers by avoiding stock-out, while respecting their maximum inventory capacity and minimizing the total transportation and inventory cost.
