Below, you can find the summary of results of a large experimental study from the paper: R. Turkeš, K. Sörensen, and D. P. Cuervo, “Deriving rules of thumb for facility decision making in humanitarian operations,” University of Antwerp, Working Paper D/2020/1169/002
Research on metaheuristics has focused almost exclusively on (novel) algorithmic development and on competitive testing, both of which have been frequently argued to yield very little generalizable knowledge. One way to obtain problem- and implementation-independent insights about metaheuristics is meta-analysis,
The location routing problem (LRP) unites two important challenges in the design of distribution systems. On the one hand, the delivery of goods to customers needs to be planned as effectively as possible, and on the other hand, the location
