- An algorithm for the routing problem with split deliveries and time windows (SDVRPTW) applied on retail SME distribution activities Juan Sepúlveda John Wilmer Escobar Wilson Adarme-Jaimes Ingeniería SME Routing SDVRPTW Keywords Distribution In this paper, particular conditions of retail trade SMEs was a nalyzed, identifying not enough financial resources for using p owerful tools for solve vehicle routing problem (VRP). On the other hand, in literature revised could not be identified studies about applic ation of current approaches for solving VRP in SMEs. Additionally because of hig h cost, commercial software do not fit investment budget of tho se companies. Through a simple insertion heuristic for VRP with sp lit deliveries and time windows (SDVRPTW), developed on an acce ssible technology platform like Microsoft® Excel™, was validated that SDVRPTW is an appropriate approach for solving vehicle routing problem on retail trade SMEs. Computational results show that t he heuristic proposed can reduce about 50% the fleet size. 2014 artículo científico 0012-7353 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=49632363029 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=496 Dyna application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Dyna (Colombia) Num.187 Vol.81
