| Abstract: | The scheduling problem for pseudo-cyclic deliveries under window constraints is presented. The problem is formulated as a linear integer programming problem, where the objective function represented the minimization of the centralized supplier capacity needed to satisfy all user requests over a discretized planning horizon of infinitive length. A heuristic algorithm running in polynomial time is illustrated and experimental analysis of its efficiency is presented. |
