ASISTENCIA DECISIONAL EN EL PROCESO DE OPTIMIZACIÓN PARA EL ENRUTAMIENTO DE VEHÍCULOS.

The Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) has been extensively studied by different authors, often specialists in the areas of Operations Research and Logistics. Sometimes this problem is so complex that it requires algorithms to find feasible solution in time with adequate quality. Several researches have shown the effective use of heuristic algorithms on vehicle routing for large dimension problem. Moreover, in a not least important researches solutions are demonstrated with exact and approximate algorithms (the approximate not be addressed in this research) applied to problems with lower dimensions. For that reason the aim is to make an analysis before optimization process of real VRP in order to know which group of algorithms (exact or heuristic) will be the possible solution of them. The paper proposes Discriminate Analysis in order to classify the solution area for a real VRP in Cuban Enterprise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
