In distribution activities, travel time is influenced by several factors, such as vehicle conditions, traffic conditions and road conditions. Uncertain traffic conditions cause the travel time can not be defined with certainty (uncertain). If several variables are in a uncertain condition then a deterministic approach is not appropriate. Fuzzy approach, can be used to overcome uncertainty conditions. In this study, the optimal route for chicken egg delivery using the fuzzy Multiobjective Cyclical Inventory Routing Problem (FMOCIRP) model with time and cost is expressed by triangular fuzzy numbers. Model completion using Winqsb software. An optimal shipping route is obtained with a total cost of Rp 114,000 and a total delivery time of 132 minutes. The first optimal delivery route is distributor, retailer 1, retailer 2, retailer 3 and back to the distributor. The second route is distributor, retailer 5, retailer 4 and back to the distributor.

AbstractIn the Inventory Routing Problem, customer demand is satisfied from inventory which is replenished with capacitated vehicles. The objective is to minimize total routing and inventory holding cost over a time horizon. If the customers are located relatively close to each other, one has the opportunity to satisfy the demand of a customer by inventory stored at another nearby customer. In the optimization of the customer replenishments, this option can be included to lower total costs. This is for example the case for ATMs in urban areas where an ATM-user that wants to withdraw money could be redirected to another ATM. To the best of our knowledge, the possibility of redirecting end-users is new to the operations research literature and has not been implemented, but is being considered, in the industry. We formulate the Inventory Routing Problem with Demand Moves in which demand of a customer can (partially) be satisfied by the inventory of a nearby customer at a service cost depending on the quantity and the distance. We propose a branch-price-and-cut solution approach which is evaluated on problem instances from the literature. Cost improvements over the classical IRP of up to 10% are observed with average savings around 3%.
