The mission of the Center for Citrus Industry Sustainability (Fapesp-Citrosuco) is to to establish an international research Center, focused on developing innovations and disseminating knowledge about citrus industry. The existence of the Center is justified by the need to integrate efforts to provide innovative answers and solutions to maintain the sustainability of the juice industry in…
This project addresses a wide range of discrete optimization and operations research problems, and aims to contribute with innovative approaches and solutions to production and supply chain management problems. The problems focused in this thematic project are divided into: (A) cutting problems, (B) packing problems, (C) lot-sizing problems, (D) scheduling problems, (E) routing problems (…
The focus of this proposal is the transfer of mathematical knowledge to other areas of science, technology and industry, through a structured research center specially tailored for this purpose. All mathematical knowledge is ultimately applicable, if not directly, through other areas of knowledge. In some areas the application of mathematics is almost immediate. However, the practical imp…
In the past few years, the development of computer technology together with methodological advances in Operations Research has motivated the investigation of more complex variants of the Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP). These variants are often inspired by real-world applications and they often include challenging objective functions and constraints. In the literature, such problems are ref…
The problems focused in this thematic project were divided into: (A) cutting problems; (B) packing problems; (C) lot-sizing problems; (D) scheduling problems; (E) routing problems (F) location problems and (G) the integration of these problems. In addition to the study and development of mathematical models related to these problems, solution methods and algorithms to solve them will be d…
Formulations and solution methods for vehicle routing problems have shown to be important to the decision-making process in logistic operations. Hence, the literature concerning this subject has been active for decades and reaches a large number of publications every year. The inventory routing problem (IRP) is an extension of the vehicle routing problem that has received great attention …

Since colonial times, sugarcane has been widely exploited as a raw material for sugar production. Currently, its growing exploitation is related to the increased use of bioenergy, bioplastics, and especially biofuels. Due to this expanding demand, there is a need to improve the agricultural stage of this raw material, where the highest production costs occur. This stage involves planting …
The formulation of mathematical models and algorithms to solve the Vehicle Allocation Problem (VAP) has been an important tool in the decision of fleet allocation. Those decisions can act to decrease the number of empty container trips that, in turn, increase the logistical costs for the company, and also promotes the availability of products in the demanding distribution centers. In this…
The vehicle routing problem (VRP) arise from the need to promote efficiency in the distribution of products or services between customers, suppliers, partners, and other. The VRP variant of interest in this project addresses joint pickup and delivery operations with customer time windows (PDPTW). Mathematical models and solution methods proposed in the literature assume that travel times…
The development of algorithms and mathematical methods for solving the vehicle routing problem (VRP) is fundamental to supporting efficient decision-making in logistic systems. Several variants of the VRP have been studied, and nowadays they allow modeling different types of practical and objective requirements. A variant of interest for this project is the Split Delivery VRP (SDVRP), in …

In this project, we introduce the Green Vehicle Routing Problem with Split Delivery and Commodity Constraint, referred to as GC-SDVRP. The GC-SDVRP is a novel variant of the vehicle routing problem that incorporates practical constraints, such as split delivery, multiple commodities and CO2 emission. In this problem, the demands of customers are composed of multiple commodities and a cust…
We address green variants of the vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery requests, considering uncertainty on demand and travel times. These variants align with current sustainability practices aimed at reducing CO2 emissions by providing less polluting routes. Our focus is on extending the pickup and delivery problem (PDP), which has gained popularity due to its practical applic…
Pickup and Delivery Problems (PDPs) are variants of the vehicle routing problem which involves determining minimum-cost routes to collect goods or individuals and deliver them to their destinations. They have been widely applied to model and solve many situations that arise in real-world logistic operations, mainly focused on commercial logistics (CL). However, the approaches proposed so …
