Abstract

Este artigo descreve um método de solução para um problema real de entrega de peças de um centro de distribuição de uma montadora de automóveis às suas concessionárias ou oficinas cadastradas, que pode ser modelado como um problema de p-medianas capacitado. O objetivo é determinar o número de caminhões a ser utilizado na operação de entrega de peças segundo a demanda conhecida dos clientes. O tamanho do conjunto de clientes atendidos (clusters) por cada caminhão é limitado pela sua capacidade pré-estabelecida, caracterizando um problema do tipo de p-medianas capacitado. A solução se baseia na aplicação da meta-heurística Algoritmo Genético para a formação de clusters de atendimento. Dois algoritmos de busca local foram aplicados para aperfeiçoamento das soluções encontradas pelo algoritmo principal. O método foi avaliado em relação às instâncias de problemas disponíveis na literatura e também aplicado ao problema real de distribuição de peças de automóveis.

Palavras-chave: p-mediana, capacitado, algoritmo genético, peças automotivas.

Abstract: In this paper we describe a method to solve a real world problem of delivering parts from the distribution center of an automaker to its dealerships, which can be modeled as a capacitated p-median problem. The objective is to determine the number of trucks being used in the operation of delivering parts according to known customers demand. The size of the set of clients served (clusters) by each truck is limited by its capacity pre-established, featuring a capacitated p-median problem. The solution is based on the application of meta-heuristic Genetic Algorithm for the clustering of attendance. Two local search algorithms were applied to improve the solutions found by the principal algorithm. The method was evaluated in relation to instances of problems available in literature and applied to the real problem of distribution of auto-parts parts as well.

Keywords: p-medians, capacitated, genetic algorithm, automotive parts.
