using simulation in sections IV and V. Finally, in section VI, the conclusions drawn from this work are presented. I. INTRODUCTION II. LITERATURE REVIEW HE vehicle routing problem (VRP) is one of the most intensively studied problems in operations research, and this is due to its structural charm as well as practical relevance. Many papers have been devoted to the development of optimization[1-3]and approximation algorithms for vehicle routing and scheduling problems[4, 5]. This interest is due

Applied Modeling with Military Operations (non-war) Modeling or model is a simplified representation of a situation or problem and modeling is the process of building, refining, and analyzing that representation for greater insight and improved decision making. Modeling is also a mathematical or logical depiction of a system’s behavior. Simulation, is otherwise the device that implements the model. In many military operations, simulation is distinguished among three classes (rough). Live simulations

The organization of corporate structures is important in the allocation of duties and roles, supervision of employees at the workplace as well as the efficient coordination of workflow in an organization. These plans form the basis of effective operations of any company’s projects, and give accurate insights on the exploration of the minimal resources available to an organization’s disposal. Besides, it enables any company to manage the work force in the process of timely completion of projects and

levels: strategic, tactical, and operational. Particularly in today’s competitive business environment, the importance of integrating these decisions so as to minimize costs and maximize customer satisfaction cannot be underestimated. Much of the research literature treats the different decision levels separately; few papers deal with optimizing jointly over both the tactical and operational levels, and even fewer involve multiple products. In this paper, we study a multi-product capacitated inventory-location

to make the products, and provide services to the customers when they are needed. This work grew out of the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations in England. They explored ways to improve productivity and morale in organizations through "action research". The socio-technical approach has focused more on work group interactions than individual performance. Properly structured work groups, it is assumed, can provide incentives, assistance, and social support better than individual job design programs
