Study on Delivery of Perishable Products in Retail Enterprise's Distribution Center

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the delivery situation of perishable products in retail enterprises distribution centers, considering a service time limit, the paper establishes a model and applies max-min ant system to solve vehicle scheduling problem with hard time windows to minimize distribution costs of perishable goods. Besides, the paper uses a case to demonstrate the feasibility of this model.
