| dc.description.abstract | This study addresses the pressing issue of vehicle coordination with time constraints
at a plastic packaging manufacturing company, aiming to optimize delivery planning
processes and reduce transportation costs. Focusing on Au Lac Plastic Company (ALTA
Plastic), the research objectives involve understanding the company's dispatching
processes, exploring related literature on vehicle routing problems (VRP), and utilizing
the Tabu Search algorithm. The study's scope encompasses a thorough examination of
ALTA Plastic's transportation operations, the VRP model, and OR-Tools. While the
research seeks to enhance delivery efficiency and cost-effectiveness, it acknowledges
limitations such as excluding factors like traffic, maintenance costs, and order splitting.
By incorporating mathematical models inspired by existing research and employing
Python programming for solution development, the study strives to provide practical
insights and solutions to enhance ALTA Plastic's competitiveness in the market with the
reduction of 10.8% in transportation cost. | en_US |
