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 …

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…
In this project, we address the Green Vehicle Routing Problem with Two-Dimensional Loading Constraints and Split Delivery, referred to as G2L-SDVRP. This variant incorporates practical constraints since split delivery allows a customer to be served by more than one vehicle when it is advantageous. Furthermore, the two-dimensional loading constraints allow modeling customer demand as recta…
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 …

A logistics system that runs well can bring significant cost reductions and strengthen the strategic positioning of a company. Shipment consolidation is one of the main activities in this context and is defined as the strategy that groups shipments with a common destination, to be transported in the same vehicle, in order to reduce transport costs, better organize deliveries, and reduce b…
Efficiency in vehicle routing has become crucial for the success of logistical operations, especially with the significant increase in demand for product transportation observed recently due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which should remain elevated even after the pandemic's end. In this context emerges the pickup and delivery problem with time windows (PDPTW), which involves determining leas…
This project addresses the robust vehicle routing problem (RVRP), focusing on the development of mathematical models and solution methods to incorporate uncertainties regarding travel time and demand existence. We intend to address a practical variant, the aircraft routing problem, motivated by a real case of an on-demand airline company. Features such as heterogeneous vehicle fleet, time…

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 …
Vehicle routing problems are currently an important part of the decision-making process in logistic systems. Efficient routes bring benefits regarding transportation costs, quality of service, gas emission, work regulations, among other features. The literature on this subject has been active for decades and is characterized by a large number of publications every year, motivated by theor…
Disasters can cause partial or total disruption of basic services such as water, energy, communication and transportation. In particular, recovering the transportation infrastructure composed by roads, bridges and tunnels is of ultimate importance in post-disaster situations, to enable the evacuation of victims and the distribution of supplies to affected areas. Road restoration, one of t…
This research project addresses the inventory routing problem (IRP) and its practical variants. This problem integrates essential activities in the supply chain management, namely inventory control and vehicle routing. In the IRP, a supplier is responsible for delivering products to its customers and controlling their stocks in a given planning horizon, which results in a challenging opti…
