Abstract
This paper presents a multiple criteria decision making approach for solving the excise goods daily delivery scheduling problem. The presented procedure enables to determine the schedule of deliveries from many suppliers to one consignee. The algorithm combines heuristic approach and the Light Beam Search method. The minimal dispersion of unloadings in the consignee's warehouse as well as minimal dispersions of loadings in suppliers’ warehouses are the criteria used for selecting the most satisfactory delivery schedule. The paper presents also an example of application of the proposed algorithm in the real problem concerning alcohol products delivery scheduling under Intra-Community Trade regulations.
