Implementación de un sistema de ruteo vehicular (VRP) para la asignación de vehículos de una flota heterogénea

Abstract

This technical project focuses on designing and implementing a comprehensive solution for the challenges related to route assignment and fleet management of a heterogeneous vehicle fleet. The main problem identified lies in the inefficiency of vehicle allocation to routes, combined with the underutilization of available resources, resulting in high operational costs, delivery delays, and a decrease in customer satisfaction. The central goal of this study is to apply a vehicle routing optimization model using programming techniques and heuristic algorithms to effectively address these issues and improve the company’s operations. The fundamental purpose of this research is to conduct a thorough analysis of the current problems in routing management, identify their root causes, and present a proposal that provides practical and effective solutions. To achieve this, analytical tools such as historical data analysis and route simulation will be employed to understand the key factors affecting the efficiency of the logistics process. This proposal aims not only to resolve current operational shortcomings but also to optimize fleet usage, improve delivery times, and reduce transportation costs. The design and implementation of this solution will not only address immediate issues but also establish a flexible system that allows for continuous adjustments and improvements, contributing to sustainable long-term optimization. This study proposes a strategy that not only tackles current challenges but also anticipates durable solutions that will adapt to the company’s future needs, positively impacting service quality, operational efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
