Abstract

With an increasing spread of electronic shopping in the (food / non-food) retail trade new problems in distribution planning emerge. This especially refers to the development of efficient operations for the delivery of electronically executed customer orders to exist in this trade channel at the market for long-term. An essential condition is in this context the delivery on the order day (or on a determined day) within a certain time interval. If wished, the customer should be promised also an as-exact-as possible delivery time. To handle these problems, which represents a specific model of vehicle routing, solutions are required. That complies with the demanded conditions to the one and guarantee to the other, that the operative expenditures (vehicle and personnel demand) can be held as low as possible. For these problems a suitable procedure is introduced, that shows a higher degree of freedom in the combinatorial processes and enables to gain a more cost efficient routing.
