Abstract

Finding the best routes for numerous vehicles travelling to a collection of places is done using the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). In logistics, the distributor's total company performance is significantly impacted by transportation costs. Due to the scale of the Vehicle Routing Problem that needs to be solved, commercial systems employ heuristics. The Vehicle Routing Problem is employed in this study to streamline the distribution network for LPG cylinders. The distributor needs this optimization because the distribution staff's present system, which involves manually determining the delivery order, is inefficient. The goal of minimizing the overall transportation cost is achieved by formulating a Linear Programming Problem (LPP).
