| dc.description.abstract | Logistics in Vietnam is known as a rapid developing industry that appeared in almost
any production and supply chain activities. This sector contributes significantly to the
economy of the country. Moreover, transportation has always been an integral part of
logistics whether that is the production, supplement, or service sector. So, the Vehicle
Routing problem and its extensions which handle the optimization route for transportation
and delivery, is a huge concern to any production or service company that related to cost
of transportation activity.
Evolving with the development of online service industry, online shopping has
incredibly grown more than ever. This is not only an opportunity for economic
development but also a challenge for company as there exist many risks in purchasing such
as counterfeit, customer information disclosure and customers barely have any sense of
products appearance and delivery status until it has been delivered to their door.
The purpose of this study is building a model that can solve the Vehicle routing problem
with and without time window in accordance with customer requirements to minimize
travelling distance and cost of the delivery for the company. Also, Improved K-mean
clustering and Elbow method will be used to reduce the size of the problem depending on
the location of customers in comparison to warehouse to reduce the solving time of the
problem. | en_US |
