Abstract This research defines and investigates a new integrated problem which involves location of facilities and vehicle routing with loading constraints. The specialized literature has been considered only the integrated location-routing problem, or the vehicle routing with loading constraints problem. Now, we deals with a logistic problem which considers simultaneous decisions for three NP-hard problems: facility location, vehicle routing and packing of items (into the cargo vehicle). The objective is propose exact and heuristic algorithms for this new integrated problem, which better approximates real-life situations in logistic area: to determine where locate potential facilities for which routes for vehicles may be defined to visit customers which items must be packed into the vehicles, all of this with minimum location and routing costs. Several numerical experiments on generic and real-world instances will be carried out in order to validate the algorithms, as well as the publication of papers in journals and conferences with the main results.
