Abstract

In recent years, with the increase in global production and demand, transportation problems have become a widely studied area, and studies focus on providing high-quality service at the lowest cost. This study considers a bi-objective shipment consolidation and dispatching problem with the objectives of minimizing the total cost and the total distance. In order to create a non-dominated solution set, a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming model is developed and augmented epsilon constraint method is used to generate the non-dominated frontier. However, this approach is not capable of finding the non-dominated solution set in a reasonable time, even for small-sized instances, and therefore, we propose a multi-objective variable neighborhood search heuristic. To measure the performance of the proposed approach, a computational experiment is conducted on randomly generated instances available in the literature. The experimental results indicate that the multi-objective variable neighborhood search heuristic performs efficiently in reasonable time.
